Carbonyl compounds generated and accumulated in the peritoneal dialysate
can be inactivated or eliminated by a carbonyl compound-trapping agent
such as aminoguanidine. Carbonyl compounds generated during sterilization
and storage of the peritoneal dialysate can be eliminated by
pre-contacting with the trapping agent. Further, it is possible to
eliminate carbonyl compounds transferred from the blood to the peritoneal
cavity of the patient during peritoneal dialysis treatment, by adding the
trapping agent to the peritoneal dialysate or by circulating the fluid
through a carbonyl compound-trapping cartridge. Intraperitoneal protein
modification by carbonyl compounds is inhibited by the present invention,
thereby sufficiently reducing peritoneal disorders associated with
peritoneal dialysis treatment.
