Kinetics of Peritoneal Dialysis—The Relationship between Flow Rate and Peritoneal Urea Clearance—

Gender, degree of obesity, and discrepancy between urea and creatinine clearance in peritoneal dialysis.

The effect of gender and degree of obesity on the size indicators V, used to normalize urea clearance (Kt/Vur), and body surface area (BSA), used to normalize creatinine clearance (Ccr), in peritoneal dialysis was studied by: (1) mathematical comparison of the formulae used to estimate V (Watson and Hume) with the Dubois formula used to estimate BSA in peritoneal dialysis; and (2) comparison of...

Mexiletine clearance during peritoneal dialysis.

infant would receive approximately 1.5 mg of disopyramide per day assuming a generous intake of 1 1 of milk. Even taking into account the two fold variability in breast milk levels of disopyramide reported by Barnett et al. (1980), the maximum amount of drug transmitted to the infant would be 3 mg/day (0.6% of the maternal dose). The manufacturer's product information recommends, on the basis o...

Peritoneal phosphate clearance is influenced by peritoneal dialysis modality, independent of peritoneal transport characteristics.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hyperphosphatemia is an independent risk factor for mortality in ESRD, but factors regulating phosphate clearance on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that peritoneal phosphate clearance is better with continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) as compared with continuous cyclic PD (CCPD) after adjusting f...

Peritoneal clearance and transport of methylglyoxal.

risk, including losartan, diuretics, fibrates and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and the presence of metabolic syndrome as defined by ATP III criteria. We found the odds ratios to be attenuated suggesting the presence of some confounding by these factors. However, the original finding in our paper [1] of a positive association between serum uric acid and CKD remained the same. Second, Dr...
