Zusammenfassung:A peritoneal dialysis composition contains an osmotic agent comprising a glucose polymer mixture, said mixture including at least 50% by weight of glucose polymers of D.P. (degree of polymerisation) greater than 12. Peritoneal dialysis may be effected by introducing into the abdominal cavity of a patient such a peritoneal dialysis composition. A patient suffering from toxaemia caused other than by kidney malfunction may be treated by effecting peritoneal dialysis by introducing into the abdominal cavity of the patient a peritoneal dialysis composition including as an osmotic agent a glucose polymer mixture containing at least 15% by weight of glucose polymers of D.P. greater than 12.
