Maximize Dehydration Efficiency with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Icodextrin for Peritoneal Dialysis
Product Introduction
Icodextrin is made of glucose molecules connected by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds. It contains more α-1,6-glycosidic bonds, which makes it have better solubility and fluidity. When digested in the body, it can produce oligosaccharides, promote the intestinal absorption of water and form a gel-like substance, playing a certain nutritional support role.
Product Application
1. Application in Peritoneal Dialysis
As an osmotic agent, icodextrin is primarily used in peritoneal dialysis (PD), particularly continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for chronic renal failure patients. By leveraging its high-molecular-weight dextrin structure, it generates colloidal osmotic pressure, prolonging the ultrafiltration duration of dialysate in the peritoneal cavity. This enhances dehydration efficiency and aids in removing excess body water and metabolic waste.
2. Comparison with Traditional Glucose Dialysate
Icodextrin-based peritoneal dialysate features a large molecular weight, making it poorly absorbable by the peritoneum. This allows it to maintain osmotic gradients over extended periods, optimizing ultrafiltration effects. In contrast, traditional glucose-based dialysates—with their small molecular size and high absorbability—struggle to sustain osmotic gradients, potentially leading to reduced ultrafiltration and peritoneal structural/functional alterations.
3. Biocompatibility and Safety
Free of glucose, icodextrin peritoneal dialysate is suitable for diabetic patients, minimizing blood sugar impacts. Studies indicate its use reduces risks of congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Additionally, its high biocompatibility reduces peritoneal irritation and damage.
4. Indications
Icodextrin peritoneal dialysate is indicated for:
Patients with peritoneal ultrafiltration failure
High-transport or high-average-transport peritoneal characteristics
Diabetes mellitus
Excessive volume overload and inadequate ultrafiltration
5. Other Medical Applications
Beyond peritoneal dialysis, icodextrin:
Alleviates discomfort from liver dysfunction (e.g., anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue)
Reduces liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B patients, enhances disease resistance, and inhibits hepatitis B virus replication
Provides nutritional support, promotes digestion, regulates immune function, accelerates wound healing, and maintains fluid balance
