Methods These guidelines have been developed under the auspices of the International
Society of Peritoneal Dialysis to help standardize practice, based on the available evidence …

Residual kidney function (RKF) may confer a variety of benefits to patients on maintenance
dialysis. RKF provides continuous clearance of middle molecules and protein-bound …

Lay summary Peritoneal dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneal membrane for dialysis. The
peritoneal membrane is a thin layer of tissue that lines the abdomen. The lining is used as a …

Summary statements (1) Peritoneal dialysis (PD) should be considered a suitable modality
for treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in all settings (1B). Guideline 2: Access and fluid …

BACKGROUND: Serum albumin level predicts mortality in dialysis patients and is used to
assess their health status and the quality of delivered care. Whether the threshold level of …

Systemic inflammation, as evidenced by elevated inflammatory cytokines, is a feature of
advanced renal failure and predicts worse survival. Dialysate IL-6 concentrations associate …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneal membrane as a semi-permeable membrane for
solute transfer and ultrafiltration. The properties of this membrane are important …

Background and objectives: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients may be overhydrated
especially when inflammation is present. We hypothesized that patients with a plasma …

Changes to peritoneal membrane function over time result in the development of
ultrafiltration failure in a proportion of PD patients and pose a risk for the rarer condition of …

Results Two hundred fifty-seven patients were included. High baseline albumin clearance
was associated with fast transport status, the presence of peripheral arterial disease, and a …
