Persistent overhydration associates a significant risk of peritoneal infection with enteric germs in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
[Abstract]
Background: Overhydration (OH) complicates frequently the clinical course of Peritoneal
Dialysis (PD) patients, and keeps a controversial association with the risk of peritoneal infection.
The main objective ...

(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).

High rates of protein intake are associated with an accelerated rate of decline of residual kidney function in incident peritoneal dialysis patients
(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 ...
Peritoneal protein transport during the baseline peritoneal equilibration test is an accurate predictor of the outcome of peritoneal dialysis patients
(Karger, 2010)
[Abstract] Background: Peritoneal protein excretion (PPE) is a potential marker of the outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Method: Observational study of a cohort of 269 patients starting PD in a single unit. ...
