Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for peritoneal dialysis. In an illustrative example, a peritoneal dialysis system can include an input lumen that receives a fluid from a first portion of a peritoneal cavity of a patient. The peritoneal dialysis system includes a filter that filters the fluid to produce a filtered fluid and a waste product. The peritoneal dialysis system includes a mixer that adds a predetermined amount of at least one electrolyte to the filtered fluid to produce a dialysate. The peritoneal dialysis system includes a sensor that measures one or more characteristics of the dialysate, and a controller that compares the one or more characteristics to one or more dialysate characteristic thresholds to verify that the dialysate satisfies one or more rules. The peritoneal dialysis system includes an output lumen that provides the dialysate to a second portion of the peritoneal cavity of the patient.
