Intraperitoneal Hyaluronan Production in Stable Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Abstract

Intraperitoneal HYA production increased with both higher permeable membrane and the length of time on CAPD. Monitoring of HYA in the peritoneal dialysate may be useful as a marker to assess functional and morphological changes in the peritoneum in long-term CAPD patients.
