Many treatment modalities have been attempted for this disease, but only renal transplantation, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis have been practically accepted. Each of these methods have certain disadvantages, therefore other treatment modalities are needed for better management of these patients. Colonic dialysis (CD) has been proposed as one of the appropriate candidate methods for the removal of electrolytes, nitrogen waste products and excess fluid, using intestinal fluid environment.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) were synthesized to be used in CD. The intestinal fluid was simulated in terms of concentrations of nitrogenous waste products, electrolytes, temperature and pressure. The simulated environment was treated with 1 g of synthesized polymer at 37 °C. Concentrations of urea, creatinine and uric acid were measured before and after polymer treating.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Intestinal fluid simulator contained 40g urea, 0.3g creatinine, and 0.25g uric acid.

The amount of urea, creatinine and uric acid decreased to 25g, 0.16g and 0.1g, respectively, in the intestinal fluid simulator.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The present study showed that CD is an appropriate method for removal of electrolytes, nitrogenous waste products and excess fluid from an intestinal fluid simulator.
