Introduction Although vascular calcification is a recognised complication for haemodialysis
patients, peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are also at risk. As such we wished to review …

Background Calcium balance in chronic kidney disease patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD)
has not been well studied. This issue is particularly important, given the careful attention …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is well established as a treatment modality for patients with end-
stage renal disease. In its simplest form it is known as continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) …

Hypercalcemia is a common complication in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) patients treated with calcium-containing phosphate binders and using the standard …

Objective To evaluate risk/benefit of various continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) dialysate calcium concentrations. Data Sources A review of the literature on the …

Background Calcium and magnesium balance in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) has been extensively studied with several of the different formulations of fluid …

In patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), factors that influence
calcium balance include calcium intake and net dialysis mass transfer; the latter is positive …

Objective To evaluate the use of low-calcium solution as the standard solution in chronic
peritoneal dialysis patients. Design Prospective long-term follow-up study over a one-year …

Like hemodialysis patients, peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are facing an excessively
increased burden of vascular and valvular calcification. According to some surveys, more …

Objective: To investigate the effects of low-calcium and standard-calcium dialysate in
patients with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis, and find out which dialysate has …
