Do interleukin-6, hyaluronan, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and cancer antigen 125 in dialysate predict changes in peritoneal function?

Abstract

There were no major changes in dialysis adequacy or membrane characteristics during the follow-up period, but increased IL-6 in dialysate may reflect peritoneal inflammation, which may lead to long-term alterations in the peritoneal membrane. Icodextrin may have a preventive effect on the longevity of the peritoneal membrane.
