Peritoneal dialysis is a process of removing metabolic waste products and excess water from the patient's body, replacing the function of the diseased kidneys. Currently, despite the clear benefits of PD, long-term treatment is limited due to an inherent lack of biocompatibility of current PD fluids. The combination of standard PDFs and alanyl-glutamine-dipeptide is designed as a cytoprotective PDF that allows a significantly longer duration of the treatment
