Insulin resistance in cardiovascular disease, uremia, and peritoneal dialysis. (2021)
Journal Article

Diabetic nephropathy is highly correlated with the occurrence of other complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus; for example, hypertension with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being the most frequent cause of death in pa...

Estimating risk of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis accounting for the competing risk of death (2019)
Journal Article

Background Risk of Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS) is strongly associated with the duration of peritoneal dialysis (PD), such that patients who have been on PD for some time may consider elective transfer to haemodialysis to mitigate risk o...

International Variations in Peritoneal Dialysis Utilization and Implications for Practice (2019)
Journal Article

In many countries, the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains low despite arguments that support its greater use, including dialysis treatment away from hospital settings, avoidance of central venous catheters, and potential health economic advantag...

Local solutions save young lives. (2019)
Journal Article

Peritoneal dialysis has many advantages over haemodialysis in the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in low-resource settings. One limitation, however, is the availability of commercial dialysis fluid. Following the International Society of Perit... Read More about Local solutions save young lives..

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...

Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport (2018)
Journal Article

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

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...

United Kingdom Catheter Study - Protocol Synopsis. (2018)
Journal Article

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..

A prospective, proteomics study identified potential biomarkers of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in peritoneal effluent (2017)
Journal Article

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a potentially devastating complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Diagnosis is often delayed due to the lack of effective and accurate diagnostic tools. We therefore examined peritoneal effluent for pot... Read More about A prospective, proteomics study identified potential biomarkers of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in peritoneal effluent.

miR-21 Promotes Fibrogenesis in Peritoneal Dialysis. (2017)
Journal Article

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a life-saving form of renal replacement therapy for those with end-stage kidney disease. Mesothelial cells (MCs) line the peritoneal cavity and help define peritoneal response to treatment-associated injury, a major reason...
