As dialytic practice has evolved, hemodialysis (HD) adequacy has come to be defined in
terms of small molecule clearance. A growing body of evidence suggests that fluid …

Abstract Background/Aims: Possible predictive value of aortic-brachial arterial stiffness
mismatch assessed by pulse wave velocity PWV ratio in peritoneal dialysis patients' …

♦ Background Endothelial dysfunction, which contributes to atherosclerosis and
arteriosclerosis, commonly accompanies end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, little is …

Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with
end-stage renal failure. However, little is known about the factors that contribute to arterial …

Background: In dialysis patients, loss of the normal gradient in arterial compliance, assessed
by the pulse wave velocity (PWV) ratio, predicts all-cause mortality better than does carotid …

Objective Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of mortality in chronic
peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Increased arterial stiffness may be related to a high …

Background Nutritional status is important in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We aimed to
compare the peritoneal transport (PT) characteristics and indicators of nutritional status in …

Background: A high peritoneal transport status in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) patients is associated with a markedly increased morbidity and mortality. While the …

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is a risk marker for cardiovascular events in peritoneal dialysis
(PD) patients. Strict volume control strategy has been shown to result in better cardiac …
