Inflammation is one of the well-recognized nontraditional risk factors that contributes to the
excessive cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Serum C-reactive …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is highly prevalent in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) population,
affecting up to 60% of cohorts. CVD is the primary cause of death in up to 40% of PD …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ginger supplementation on
serum glucose, advanced glycation end products, oxidative stress, and systemic and …

Objectives. The monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (MLR), as a new marker of the systemic
inflammatory response, is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the …

Background Garlic can be considered as a useful natural herb in inhibition of inflammation.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of garlic extract in lowering …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains limited by dialysis failure due to peritoneal membrane
fibrosis driven by inflammation caused by infections or sterile cellular stress. Given the …

Phenotype transition of mesothelial cells, such as epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition
(EMT), is one of the early mechanisms of peritoneal fibrosis, which is mediated by oxidative …

Background Dynapenic obesity and sarcopenic obesity increase cardiovascular disease
(CVD) and mortality in nonuremic patients. The present study was designed to determine the …

Peritoneal membrane failure due to fibrosis limits the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Peritoneal fibrosis may potentially be induced by sterile inflammation caused by ongoing …

BACKGROUND: A large body of research has investigated the effects of pro-atherogenic
lipid profile on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. However …
