Icodextrin is an ingredient that helps regulate fluid balance and maintain osmotic pressure in peritoneal dialysis.
MFDS ingredient code M089851
Icodextrin is a polymer carbohydrate that is used in peritoneal dialysis solution to assist in the removal of waste and excess fluid from the body. This ingredient is slowly absorbed in the body, maintaining stable osmotic pressure over a long duration.
Icodextrin remains in the peritoneal cavity to form osmotic pressure, allowing excess fluid and waste in the blood to move into the dialysis solution through the peritoneum. In this process, it helps regulate fluid balance and enhances dialysis efficacy.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike traditional glucose-based dialysis solutions, icodextrin has a lesser impact on blood sugar levels, making it advantageous for blood sugar control during long-term use. It also allows for stable osmotic pressure maintenance due to its slower degradation rate.
