Peritoneal water transport characteristics of diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a longitudinal study
(Karger, 2017-06-21)
[Abstract] Background: Volume overload is frequent in diabetics undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and may play a significant role in the excess mortality observed in these patients. The characteristics of peritoneal ...
Identification of targets for prevention of peritoneal catheter tunnel and exit-site infections in low incidence settings
(SAGE, 2016-01-01)
[Abstract] ♦ Background:
Peritoneal catheter tunnel and exit-site infection (TESI) complicates the clinical course of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Adherence to recommendations for catheter insertion, exit-site care, ...
Serum levels of the adipomyokine irisin in patients with chronic kidney disease
(Elsevier, 2016-12-14)
[Abstract] Background. Irisin is an adipomyokine with claimed anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects. This hormone has been insufficiently studied in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Objective. To ...
Baseline residual kidney function and its ensuing rate of decline interact to predict mortality of peritoneal dialysis patients
(PLOS, 2016-07-08)
[Abstract] Background. Baseline residual kidney function (RKF) and its rate of decline during follow-up are purported to be reliable outcome predictors of patients undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). The independent ...
Analysis of ultrafiltration failure diagnosed at the initiation of peritoneal dialysis with the help of peritoneal equilibration tests with complete drainage at sixty minutes: a longitudinal study
(SAGE, 2016-01-13)
[Abstract] Background: Ultrafiltration failure (UFF) diagnosed at the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been insufficiently characterized. In particular, few longitudinal studies have analyzed the time course of ...
Inhibition of gastric acid secretion by H2 receptor antagonists associates a definite risk of enteric peritonitis and infectious mortality in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis
(PLOS, 2016-02-12)
[Abstract] Background. Evidences linking treatment with inhibitors of gastric acid secretion (IGAS) and an increased risk of serious infections are inconclusive, both in the population at large and in the particular case ...
Involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the inflammatory response in human mesothelial cells from peritoneal dialysis effluent
(MDPI, 2022-11-04)
[Abstract] Recent studies have related mitochondrial impairment with peritoneal membrane damage during peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. Here, we assessed the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the inflammatory ...
