Claims 1, 10, 35 and 41, which are illustrative of the subject matter on appeal, read as follows: 1. A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising as osmotic agents: approximately 0.25 to about 4.0% (w/v) polypeptides; and approximately 0.5% to about 4.0% (w/v) dextrose. 10. A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising a polypeptide mixture as an osmotically active agent in an osmotically effective amount, the polypeptide mixture consisting of: not more than approximately 0.10% of polypeptides having a molecular weight of greater than 1200; not more than approximately 25% of polypeptides having a molecular weight of less than 400; and the weight average of the polypeptide mixture being within the range of approximately 400 to about 900 daltons. 35. A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising as an osmotic agent synthetic polypeptides that are approximately 4 to about 10 amino acids long and dextrose. -2-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
