Differential proteomic characterization between normal peritoneal fluid and diabetic peritoneal dialysate

Abstract

The loss of vitamin D-binding protein, haptoglobin and alpha-2-microglobulin may be due to a change in the permeability of the peritoneal membrane to middle-sized proteins or leakage from peritoneal inflammation. Lower levels of complement C4-A in dialysate may shed light on the beginning of peritoneal membrane scleroses.
