Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport (2018)
Journal Article
Elphick, E. H., Teece, L., Chess, J. A., Do, J.-Y., Kim, Y.-L., Lee, H. B., Davison, S. N., Topley, N., Davies, S. J., & Lambie, M. (2018). Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport. Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 13(10), 1526-1533. https://doi.org/10.2215/cjn.02380218

Background and objectives
The inflammation-driven increase in peritoneal solute transport rate that occurs during long-term peritoneal dialysis is associated with higher mortality, hospitalization, and encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. Because bi... Read More about Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport.

FP467 CHANGES IN DIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION AFFECT THE TIME COURSE OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brenna, I., Elphick, E., Lambie, M., & Davies, S. FP467 CHANGES IN DIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION AFFECT THE TIME COURSE OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS. Presented at 55th ERA-EDTA CONGRESS; May 24th - 27th 2018, Copenhagen Denmark

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Long term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with increased peritoneal solute transport rate (PSTR), which correlates with hard outcomes. Whether different clinical approaches affect PSTR rate of increase is unclear.

MET... Read More about FP467 CHANGES IN DIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION AFFECT THE TIME COURSE OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS.

Rationale and design of BISTRO: a randomized controlled trial to determine whether bioimpedance spectroscopy-guided fluid management maintains residual kidney function in incident haemodialysis patients (2017)
Journal Article
Davie, S., Coyle, D., Dasgupta, I., Andronis, L., Farrington, K., Wilkie, M., Mitra, S., Ormandy, P., Lindley, E., Macdonald, J., Solis-Trapala, I., Sim, J., Davenport, A., & Caskey, F. (2017). Rationale and design of BISTRO: a randomized controlled trial to determine whether bioimpedance spectroscopy-guided fluid management maintains residual kidney function in incident haemodialysis patients. BMC Nephrology, 18, Article 138. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-017-0554-1

BACKGROUND: Preserved residual kidney function (RKF) and normal fluid status are associated with better patient outcomes in incident haemodialysis patients. The objective of this trial is to determine whether using bioimpedance technology in prescrib...

Ethical issues in dialysis therapy (2017)
Journal Article
Jha, V., Martin, D. E., Bargman, J. M., Davies, S., Feehally, J., Finkelstein, F., Harris, D., Misra, M., Remuzzi, G., & Levin, A. (2017). Ethical issues in dialysis therapy. The Lancet, 389(10081), 1851-1856. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0140-6736%2816%2932408-4

Treatment for end-stage kidney disease is a major economic challenge and a public health concern worldwide. Renal-replacement therapy poses several practical and ethical dilemmas of global relevance for patients, clinicians, and policy makers. These... Read More about Ethical issues in dialysis therapy.

Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right? (2016)
Journal Article
Davies, S. J. (2016). Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right?. Kidney International, 90(6), 1162 -1163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2016.09.020

How the dialysis dose is normalized is just one of several assumptions that clinicians need to take into account when prescribing peritoneal dialysis. El-Kateb et al. confirm that estimating the volume of urea distribution is associated with signific... Read More about Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right?.

The Current State of Peritoneal Dialysis (2016)
Journal Article
Mehrotra, R., Devuyst, O., Davies, S. J., & Johnson, D. W. (2016). The Current State of Peritoneal Dialysis. Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 27(11), 3238 -3252. https://doi.org/10.1681/ASN.2016010112

Technical innovations in peritoneal dialysis (PD), now used widely for the long-term treatment of ESRD, have significantly reduced therapy-related complications, allowing patients to be maintained on PD for longer periods. Indeed, the survival rate f... Read More about The Current State of Peritoneal Dialysis.

Journal Article
Winterbottom, A. E., Gavaruzzi, T., Mooney, A., Wilkie, M., Davies, S. J., Crane, D., Tupling, K., Baxter, P. D., Meads, D. M., Mathers, N., & Bekker, H. L. (2016). Patient Acceptability of the Yorkshire Dialysis Decision AID (YODDA) Booklet: A Prospective Non-Randomized Comparison Study across 6 Predialysis Services. Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 36(4), 374-381. https://doi.org/10.3747/pdi.2014.00274

Background
Patients are satisfied with their kidney care but want more support in making dialysis choices. Predialysis leaflets vary across services, with few being sufficient to enable patients’ informed decision making. We describe the acceptabili...
