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 ...
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 ...
Influence of peritoneal residual volume on the results of the peritoneal equilibration test: prospective study
(Sociedad Española de Nefrología, 2023-03)
[Abstract] Background: Categorization of the capacity of ultrafiltration during a peritoneal equilibration test (PET) is a usual step during the monitoring of peritoneal transport characteristics of Peritoneal Dialysis ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Association of urinary excretion rates of uric acid with biomarkers of kidney injury in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
(PLoS One, 2024-06-11)
[Abstract]
Background: The potential influence of hyperuricemia on the genesis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. In general, the correlation between blood levels of uric acid (UA) ...
