A strong inter-relationship seems to exist between the peritoneal membrane and the kidney in patients on peritoneal dialysis. In this Perspectives article, Nessim and Bargman describe examples of this interplay—such as the mechanisms by which alterations in peritoneal membrane function may influence residual renal function and vice versa—and propose that this interplay be characterized by a new term: 'peritoneal–renal syndrome'.
