Evaluation of Peritoneal Transport and Membrane Status in Peritoneal Dialysis: Focus on Incident Fast Transporters

Abstract

Baseline peritoneal fast transport was not associated with systemic inflammation, but was related to peritoneal locally produced substances able to mediate transitory hyperpermeability. The D/P creatinine ratio changed during the follow-up period with a U-shaped profile. This was associated with effluent IL-6 and partly with VEGF. CA-125 decreased throughout the follow-up period.
