Does alanyl-glutamine supplementation offer potential to improve peritoneal dialysate biocompatibility? (2018)
Journal Article

Peritoneal dialysis technique survival remains challenging due to peritonitis and long-term alterations to peritoneal membrane function and integrity. Up to now, the development of less bio-incompatible dialysis solutions have not had a major impact...

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 bio... Read More about Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport.

Bioimpedance-defined overhydration predicts survival in end stage kidney failure (ESKF): systematic review and subgroup meta-analysis. (2018)
Journal Article
Tabinor, M., Elphick, E., Dudson, M., Shing Kwok, C., Lambie, M., & Davies, S. J. (2018). Bioimpedance-defined overhydration predicts survival in end stage kidney failure (ESKF): systematic review and subgroup meta-analysis. Scientific reports, 8, Article 4441. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21226-y

Both overhydration and comorbidity predict mortality in end-stage kidney failure (ESKF) but it is not clear whether these are independent of one another. We undertook a systematic review of studies reporting outcomes in adult dialysis patients in whi...

BACKGROUND: High-quality peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion pathways are essential for optimal access to the therapy. Dialysis outcomes are influenced by a range of patient and center-related factors, and there is a need to better understand... Read More about United Kingdom Catheter Study - Protocol Synopsis..
