Peritoneal Accumulation of Advanced Glycosylation End-Products in Diabetic Rats on Dialysis with Icodextrin

Abstract

These results suggest that AGE formation is lower with the use of peritoneal dialysis solution containing icodextrin than with glucose-based solutions. We conclude that the use of icodextrin may be helpful in slowing the deterioration of the peritoneal membrane, prolonging its use for dialysis.
