Long-term peritoneal dialysis with glucose- based dialysis solutions has been associated with diabetiform alterations of peritoneal tissue. A peritoneal infusion model in the rat was developed to study the effect of chronic infusion of a glucose-based dialysis solution and an isotonic non-glucose solution on the ultrastructure of the basement membranes of peritoneal capillaries. The effect of ageing was also studied in an untreated control group.
