Figure 2. Reduction of systemic concentrations of thymidine and 2’-deoxyuridine through the application of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis solution is infused into the peritoneal cavity and left to dwell for several hours, during which time metabolites (thymidine and 2’-deoxyuridine) pass from the capillary network in the peritoneal membrane into the dialysis solution. The dialysate containing the metabolites is then drained to waste
