  • Title: [Inflammation in peritoneal dialysis].
    Author: Ryckelynck JP, Lobbedez T, Pujo M, el Haggan W, Hurault de Ligny B.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 2003; 24(7):367-70. PubMed ID: 14650748.
    Abstract:
    In patients on peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal membrane alterations with inadequate peritoneal membrane function may be induced during long-term therapy. Chronic inflammation triggers malnutrition and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease contributing to high mortality. The role of catheter, peritonitis and peritoneal dialysis fluids is argued. A neutral pH, a lesser presence of glucose degradation products generated during heat sterilization and accelerating the production of advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs) could be reduced with better biocompatibility of peritoneal dialysis fluids.
