Peritoneal Protein Clearance and not Peritoneal Membrane Transport Status Predicts Survival in a Contemporary Cohort of Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

摘要

Background and objectives: Fast peritoneal membrane transport status may be due to inflammation or increased peritoneal membrane surface area. We evaluated the ability of peritoneal protein clearance (Pcl) to distinguish fast peritoneal membrane transport status as a consequence of peritoneal membrane inflammation and assess its impact on patient survival.
