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 ...
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 ...
Correlation between glycemic control and the incidence of peritoneal and catheter tunnel and exit-site infections in diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis
(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 ...
