Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The human peritoneal membrane is semi‐permeable and hence can be used as a dialysis membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -During peritoneal dialysis, a cleansing fluid flows through a tube (catheter) into part of your abdomen. The lining of your abdomen (peritoneum) acts as a filter and removes waste products from your blood. After a set period of time, the fluid with the filtered waste products flows out of your abdomen and is discarded.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polysulfone membranes, or polymers from the polysulfone family (e.g. polyethersulfone/polyarylethersulfone), are the most frequently used membranes to treat end-stage CKD patients worldwide on HD [51–54].
