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
Machado Lopes, Daniela; García Falcón, María Teresa; Rodríguez Carmona, Ana; López-Muñiz, Andrés; Ferreiro-Hermida, Tamara; López-Iglesias, Antía; Pérez-Fontán, Miguel (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 ... -
Correlation between glycemic control and the incidence of peritoneal and catheter tunnel and exit-site infections in diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis
Rodríguez-Carmona, Ana; Pérez-Fontán, Miguel; López-Muñiz, Andrés; Ferreiro-Hermida, Tamara; García Falcón, María Teresa (SAGE, 2014-11-01)[Abstract] Background: Diabetes mellitus, especially if complicated by poor glycemic control, portends an increased risk of infection. The significance of this association in the case of diabetic patients undergoing ... -
Effect of low-GDP bicarbonate–lactate-buffered peritoneal dialysis solutions on plasma levels of adipokines and gut appetite-regulatory peptides: a randomized crossover study
Rodríguez Carmona, Ana; Pérez-Fontán, Miguel; Guitián, Ana; Peteiro, Javier; García Falcón, María Teresa; López-Muñiz, Andrés; García-Buela, Jesús; Cordido, Fernando (Oxford University Press, 2001-05-11) -
High rates of protein intake are associated with an accelerated rate of decline of residual kidney function in incident peritoneal dialysis patients
Otero Alonso, Pablo; Pérez-Fontán, Miguel; López Iglesias, Antía; García Falcón, María Teresa; Rodríguez-Carmona, Ana (Oxford Academic, 2019-01-04)[Abstract] Background Preservation of residual kidney function (RKF) is a relevant objective in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The influence of dietary protein intake (PI) on this variable has not been adequately ... -
Identification of targets for prevention of peritoneal catheter tunnel and exit-site infections in low incidence settings
Santos, Clara; Pérez-Fontán, Miguel; Rodríguez-Carmona, Ana; Calvo-Rodríguez, María; López-Muñiz, Andrés; López-Calviño, Beatriz; García Falcón, María Teresa (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, ... -
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
Pérez-Fontán, Miguel; Machado Lopes, Daniela; García Enríquez, Alba; López-Calviño, Beatriz; López-Muñiz, Andrés; García Falcón, María Teresa; Rodríguez-Carmona, Ana (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 ... -
Long-term trends in the incidence of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis disclose an increasing relevance of streptococcal infections: a longitudinal study
Santos, Joana Eugénio; Rodríguez-Magariños, Catuxa; García Gago, L.; Astudillo-Jarrín, Daniela; Pértega-Díaz, Sonia; Rodríguez-Carmona, Ana; García Falcón, María Teresa; Pérez-Fontán, Miguel (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2020-12-21)[Abstract} Background.
