Altering peritoneal membrane function: removing the GAG?
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a highly effective and convenient mode of renal replacement therapy. The success of PD depends on maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the peritoneal membrane. The outer (serosal) part of the peritoneal membrane consists of a monolayer of mesothelial cells, which provide a low-friction surface, allowing internal organs to move relative to one anothe...
متن کاملEstimates of peritoneal membrane function--new insights.
The most widely used peritoneal function test is the peritoneal equilibration test (PET), developed and described by Twardowski in 1987. The test was originally performed using a 2.27% glucose solution and focused on transport of small solutes. With the test, categorization of patients was possible into high, average and low transporters. However, to detect clinically significant ultrafiltratio...
متن کاملInflammation and the Peritoneal Membrane: Causes and Impact on Structure and Function during Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis therapy has increased in popularity since the end of the 1970s. This method provides a patient survival rate equivalent to hemodialysis and better preservation of residual renal function. However, technique failure by peritonitis, and ultrafiltration failure, which is a multifactorial complication that can affect up to 40% of patients after 3 years of therapy. Encapsulant pe...
متن کاملAGE accumulation in peritoneal membrane and cavity during peritoneal dialysis and its effect on peritoneal structure and function.
T he conventional dialysis solutions contain a high concentration of glucose to induce sufficient ultra filtration and to maintain fluid balance in uremic patients. During continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), the peritoneal cavity is therefore continuously exposed to high glucose for a long time. Histological examination of the peritoneum from peritoneal dialysis patients revealed ...
متن کاملPeritoneal membrane transport function in children receiving long-term dialysis.
Accurate characterization of peritoneal solute transport capacity in children has been hampered by a lack of standardized test mechanics and small patient numbers. A standardized peritoneal equilibration test was used to study 95 pediatric patients (mean age, 9.9 +/- 5.6 yr) receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis at 14 centers. Patients were divided into four age groups (< 1, 1 to 3, 4 to 11, 12...
