Abstract:Background
The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) measures ultrafiltration and small solute clearance in peritoneal dialysis (PD). We aimed to assess if PET and biomarkers predict ultrafiltration in the first two days of PD. Biomarkers included in the study were matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1), aquaporin1 (AQP1), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and CA125.
Methods
We enrolled 36 incident PD patients, and a fast PET was performed after the PD catheter insertion. Efflue… Show more
