Ischaemic bowel disease in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Correlation between Ultrafiltration Coefficient and Effective Lymphatic Absorption Rate in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Possible Paradigm Shift

Background: The relative contribution of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a critical issue, particularly in patients with ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Based on routine results obtained from the PD Adequest 2.0 software, the present study aimed to re-evaluate the separate effects of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption ...

ارایه مدلی جهت پیش‌بینی بقای بیماران دیالیز صفاقی با استفاده از الگوریتم‌های داده‌کاوی

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is one of the most commonly used treatment methods for the patients with end stage renal failure. In recent years, the mortality rate of patients under this treatment has decreased; however, long-term survival is still an important challenge for health systems. The present study aimed to predict the survival of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. ...

Bowel perforation associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis; silent danger in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients: case report and review of the literature

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis causes weight loss, intermittent bowel obstruction and decrease in peritoneal water and solute transport. Mortality may reach up to 50% due to severe malnutrition and ileus. Although the etiology is not fully known, many reasons such as frequent peritoni...

Peritonitis in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Fungal peritonitis is an uncommon condition which is associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). It is associated with several complications and many of the patients who develop this condition are unable to resume CAPD treatment and have to shift to haemodialysis. Here we report the rare occurrence of fungal peritonitis due to As...
