1. A method for determining an intraperitoneal volume during peritoneal dialysis, which comprising the steps of passing peritoneal solution from a peritoneal cavity in a first circuit adjacent a first side of a semipermeable membrane;

  • passing dialyzing fluid in a second circuit adjacent a second side of the semipermeable membrane;

    measuring the concentration of an endogenous substance that passes through a peritoneum into the peritoneal solution in the peritoneal cavity; and

    determining the intraperitoneal volume from the variation in the concentration over time.
