Background Bacterial peritonitis is a frequent complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis
(PD). We previously reported that PD fluid (PDF) suppressed expression of monocyte …

Background Bacterial peritonitis is one of the most frequent complications in patients on
peritoneal dialysis. In the present study, we investigated effects of peritoneal dialysis fluid …

Background Noninfectious upregulation of proinflammatory pathways in mesothelial cells
may represent an integral part of their stress response upon exposure to peritoneal dialysis …

The mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis (CAPD) is poorly elucidated. We investigated the cellular mechanism of high …

Background Peritoneal fibrosis induced by various factors during peritoneal dialysis (PD)
can eventually lead to ultrafiltration failure and termination of PD treatment. The existing …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence is growing worldwide, with a significant percentage
of CKD patients reaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and requiring kidney …

Background/Aims: Peritonitis is a major complication that arises out of peritoneal dialysis
(PD), leading to death and loss of mesothelium and peritoneal injury, which may impede PD …

Background. Exposure of mesothelial cells to peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDF) results in
cytoprotective cellular stress responses (CSR) that counteract PDF-induced damage. In this …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an essential daily life-saving treatment for end-stage renal failure.
PD therapy is limited by peritoneal inflammation, which leads to peritoneal membrane failure …

Background. Peritonitis is a common and severe complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Although TGF-β is a key mediator in peritoneal fibrosis with chronic PD, its role in acute …
