Abstract: A mathematical model for fluid and solute transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions. Its aim is to model ultrafiltration of water combined with inflow of glucose to the tissue and removal of albumin from the body during dialysis, and it does this by finding the spatial distributions of glucose and albumin concentrations and hydrostatic pressure. The model is developed in one spatial dimension approximation and a governing equation for each of the variables is derived from physical principles. Under certain assumptions the model are simplified with the aim of obtaining exact formulae for spatially non-uniform steady-state solutions. As the result, the exact formulae for the fluid fluxes from blood to tissue and across the tissue are constructed together with two linear autonomous ODEs for glucose and albumin concentrations in the tissue. The obtained analytical results are checked for their applicability for the description of fluid-glucose-albumin transport during peritoneal dialysis.
