Abstract
Methods of peritoneal dialysis are disclosed including draining spent peritoneal dialysis solution from a patient to a drain bag, passing the spent peritoneal dialysis solution from the drain bag through a filter so as to separate a protein rich fraction and a protein lean fraction therefrom, and supplying the protein enriched fraction to the fresh peritoneal dialysis solution for supply to the patient. Apparatus for peritoneal dialysis is also disclosed.
