Stimulation of peritoneal synthesis of vasoactive prostaglandins during peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

چکیده
The peritoneal generation of arachidonic acid metabolites was studied in eight patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) during infection-free periods and during bacterial peritonitis. The prostacyclin metabolite 6-keto-PGF1 alpha was found to be the major prostanoid generated by human peritoneal mesothelium (1090 ng (6h)-1, SEM 86, n = 8) followed by lesser amounts of PGE2 (142 ng (6 h)-1, SEM 26, n = 8), PGF2 alpha (162 ng (6 h)-1, SEM 27, n = 8) and TXB2 (59 ng (6 h)-1, SEM 5, n = 8). During peritonitis a significant increase of all prostaglandins and TXB2 occurred (P less than 0.001). The ratio of the vasodilating prostaglandins and their metabolites (PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha) to the vasoconstrictors and their metabolites (PGF2 alpha and TXB2) increased from 6.6 to 10.5 during peritoneal inflammation. Augmented peritoneal clearances of creatinin and urea and increased losses of proteins during peritonitis as well as the enhanced peritoneal generation of prostanoids were reduced to basal values by adequate antibiotic therapy. The present results suggest that the increased peritoneal blood flow during peritonitis, probably responsible for the observed changes of peritoneal transport properties, may be induced by a change in the ratio of vasoactive prostaglandins generated by peritoneal mesothelial cells.

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 ...
متن کامل"Agrobacterium yellow group" and Pseudomonas paucimobilis causing peritonitis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Five cases of peritonitis occurred during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in which unusual yellow pigmented Gram negative bacteria were isolated in pure culture. Four of these isolates were identified as the so called "Agrobacterium yellow group." The remaining isolate was identified as Pseudomonas paucimobilis, an organism closely related to the Agrobacterium yellow group.

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...
متن کاملPeritonitis 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...
