Background: The majority of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) suffer from volume
overload and this overhydration is associated with increased mortality. Thus, optimal …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in peritoneal
dialysis (PD) patients. Two decades ago, the common co‐existence of malnutrition and …

Most epidemiologic studies assessing the relationship between chronic kidney disease
(CKD) and sarcopenia have been performed in dialysis patients. This study aimed to …

Background Sarcopenia is a prevalent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease
and is associated with poor quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Several candidate …

Background: Appropriate volume control is one of the key goals in a peritoneal dialysis (PD)
prescription. As such it is an important component of the International Society of Peritoneal …

Volume status can be difficult to assess in dialysis patients. Peripheral edema, elevated
venous pressure, lung crackles, and hypertension are taught as signs of fluid overload, but …

Adequate fluid management plays an important role in decreasing cardiovascular risk in
peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We evaluated whether strict volume control monitored by …

Obesity is a global epidemic that has a complicated pathogenesis as well as impact on the
outcome of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. In this review, the prevalence of obesity in …

Background: Cross-sectional studies showed that fluid overload (FO) measured by
bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) predicted adverse outcomes in patients on peritoneal …

Combination therapy with peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis (PD+ HD) is widely used in
Japan for PD patients with decreased residual renal function. However, fluid status in PD+ …
