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 ...
Comprehensive approach to peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis by enteric microorganisms: comparison between single organism and polymicrobial infections
(International Society for Pertioneal Dialysis, 2018)
[Abstract]
Background: Peritoneal infections of enteric origin (EntP) have been classically investigated using partial strategies, focused on particular subgroups of microorganisms. A more comprehensive approach may ...
Serum levels of anti-alphaGalactosyl antibodies predict survival and peritoneal dialysis-related enteric peritonitis rates in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy
(Elsevier, 2006-11-06)
[Abstract] Background: Anti-Galα1-3Gal antibodies (anti-αGal) represent a significant fraction of natural antibodies and were implicated in several disease states, yet their origin and physiological significance remain ...
Long-Term Trends in the Incidence of Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis Disclose an Increasing Relevance of Streptococcal Infections: A Longitudinal Study
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2020-12-21)
[Abstract}
Background.
The selective impact of strategies for prevention of PD-related peritonitis (PDrP) may have modified, in the long term, the causal spectrum, clinical presentation and outcomes of these ...
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 ...
Does prior abdominal surgery influence peritoneal transport characteristics or technique survival of peritoneal dialysis patients?
(Karger, 2020-10-22)
[Abstract] Introduction: Prior abdominal surgery may result in peritoneal membrane adhesions and fibrosis, compromising the success of peritoneal dialysis (PD). The impact of this factor on peritoneal membrane function and ...
