Effect of creatinine assay standardization on the performance of Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD formula in predicting GFR.

CAPD patients given lercanidipine developed non-infective turbid peritoneal dialysis. Differential diagnosis of non-infectious cloudy peritoneal dialysate includes cellular causes (i.e. leucocyte, eosinophils, red cells and malign cells) and non-cellular causes (i.e. triglyceride and drugs) [2]. Yoshimoto et al. [1,3] reported that benidipine, manidipine, nisoldipine and nifedipine caused cloudy dialysate on CAPD patients. In their study, it was revealed that the fluid contained an elevated triglyceride concentration. As far as we know this is the first report in the literature that lercanidipine causes cloudy dialysate in the CAPD patients.
