6 barriers for transport Stagnant layers at mesothelial and capillary side: not relevant Mesothelial cell layer: not relevant Interstitial tissue: (minor) diffusive resistance Capillary wall: most important restriction barrier Nolph et al. Kidney Int 18 (Suppl 20): S111-S116, 1980 Flessner et al. J Am Soc Nephrol 2: 122-135, 1991

2D membrane with pores Capillary wall is the most important restriction barrier and determines the peritoneal membrane s size-selectivity through a system of pores the PORE THEORIES

2D membrane with pores SOLUTE REMOVAL ULTRAFILTRATION pore size surface area How to evaluate a hemodialyzer? SOLUTE REMOVAL pore size surface area ULTRAFILTRATION From: Robert W. Schrier s Atlas of Diseases of the Kidney

The THREE pore theory Small pores with constant radius 40-50Å majority for transport of low molecular weight solutes Large pores with various radii, average > 150Å minority (less than 0.1% of total pore count) for transport of macromolecules Ultra-small pores with radius 3-5Å for transport of water only accounts for 1/2 of transcapillary water transport

The THREE pore theory The pore theory explains the classical mechanisms of transmembrane transport of molecules. DIFFUSION SOLUTE REMOVAL movement of solutes along their concentration gradient Bammens Semin Nephrol 31: 127-137, 2011

Diffusive transport J s = D f x.a. C (Fick s first law of diffusion) diffusive permeability (membrane- and solute-specific) surface area (membrane-specific)

Diffusive transport J s = D f x.a. C (Fick s first law of diffusion) diffusive permeability (membrane- and solute-specific) surface area (membrane-specific) concentration difference between plasma and dialysate

Diffusive transport J s = D f x.a. C (Fick s first law of diffusion) diffusive permeability (membrane- and solute-specific) surface area (membrane-specific) concentration difference between plasma and dialysate mass transfer area coefficient (MTAC)

Diffusive transport J s = D f x.a. C (Fick s first law of diffusion) J s = MTAC. C Transport of small molecules up to MW of β 2 M (11,8 kda) NOT limited by size of the pores MTAC for a given solute ONLY determined by effective vascular peritoneal surface area (number of pores)

The THREE pore theory The pore theory explains the classical mechanisms of transmembrane transport of molecules. CONVECTION SOLUTE REMOVAL movement of solutes along with fluid as it moves across the membrane (solvent drag) Bammens Semin Nephrol 31: 127-137, 2011

Convective transport J s = J v.c.(1-σ)

Convective transport J s = J v.c.(1-σ) water flux (membrane-specific)

Convective transport J s = J v.c.(1-σ) water flux (membrane-specific) mean solute concentration in the membrane (P+D)/2

Convective transport J s = J v.c.(1-σ) water flux (membrane-specific) mean solute concentration in the membrane (P+D)/2 Staverman s reflection coefficient = how difficult it is for a solute to be transported by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane (membrane- and solute-specific)

σ Convective transport Staverman s reflection coefficient = how difficult it is for a solute to be transported by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane = fraction of maximal osmotic pressure a solute can exert across a semi-permeable membrane S sieving coefficient = how easy it is for a solute to be transported by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane = fraction of maximal solute transport by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane

Convective transport For a semi-permeable membrane, S and σ are expected to be perfectly interchangeable concepts! 1 the ideal two-pore membrane σ S = 1 - σ 0 0 1 S

σ Convective transport Staverman s reflection coefficient = how difficult it is for a solute to be transported by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane = fraction of maximal osmotic pressure a solute can exert across a semi-permeable membrane S sieving coefficient = how easy it is for a solute to be transported by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane = fraction of maximal solute transport by solvent drag across a semi-permeable membrane

Convective transport For a semi-permeable membrane, S and σ are expected to be perfectly interchangeable concepts! 1 σ S = 1 - σ σ glucose very low! 0 0 1 S SMALL (and large) PORES

Apparent σ glucose = higher For a semi-permeable membrane, S and σ are expected to be perfectly interchangeable concepts! However, the water-only channels make the peritoneal membrane more than a semi-permeable membrane! 1 the peritoneal membrane σ S = 1 - σ σ glucose 0.03 0 0 1 S ULTRA-SMALL PORES SMALL (and large) PORES
