What does it do?

Dextrose anhydrous is a type of simple sugar used in peritoneal dialysis solutions to help remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. This ingredient plays a role in facilitating fluid movement during the dialysis process by regulating osmotic pressure.

Dextrose anhydrous raises the osmotic pressure in peritoneal dialysis solutions, inducing the movement of excess fluid and waste products from the blood into the dialysis solution through the peritoneum. This contributes to maintaining the balance of body fluids and electrolytes.
