Altered permeability of the peritoneal membrane after using hypertonic peritoneal dialysis fluid

Altered permeability of the peritoneal membrane after using hypertonic peritoneal dialysis fluid.

Previous work has shown that use of hypertonic peritoneal dialysis fluid (7% glucose) results in ultrafiltration and enhanced urea transfer across the peritoneal membrane. Simultaneous creatinine studies showed a similar enhancement with hypertonic fluid which persisted in lesser degree during subsequent isotonic exchanges. The mechanism of solvent drag has been shown to contribute significantl...

Peritoneal ultrafiltration dialysis: enhanced urea transfer using hypertonic peritoneal dialysis fluid.

Peritoneal dialysis fluid-induced changes of the peritoneal membrane are reversible after peritoneal rest in rats.

BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with functional and structural alterations of the peritoneal membrane. However, the (ir)reversibility of these pathological changes of the peritoneum is not understood fully. METHODS In an experimental PD model, rats (n = 15) received daily 10 ml conventional glucose containing PD fluid, via peritoneal catheters connected to implanted subcutan...

Increased peritoneal permeability at peritoneal dialysis initiation is a potential cardiovascular risk in patients using biocompatible peritoneal dialysis solution

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is a frequent cause of death in peritoneal dialysis patients. Biocompatible peritoneal dialysis solutions with neutral pH have been anticipated to reduce cardiovascular disease more than conventional peritoneal dialysis solutions with low pH, but it remains unclear which factors at peritoneal dialysis initiation increase cardiovascular risk in patients using bi...
