Assisted peritoneal dialysis across Europe: Practice variation and factors associated with availability (2021)
Journal Article
Davies. (2021). Assisted peritoneal dialysis across Europe: Practice variation and factors associated with availability. Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 533-541. https://doi.org/10.1177/08968608211049882

Background: In Europe, the number of elderly end-stage kidney disease patients is increasing. Few of those patients receive peritoneal dialysis (PD), as many cannot perform PD autonomously. Assisted PD programmes are available in most European coun... Read More about Assisted peritoneal dialysis across Europe: Practice variation and factors associated with availability.

AQP1 Promoter Variant, Water Transport, and Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis. (2021)
Journal Article
Morelle, J., Marechal, C., Yu, Z., Debaix, H., Corre, T., Lambie, M., …Devuyst, O. (2021). AQP1 Promoter Variant, Water Transport, and Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis. New England Journal of Medicine, 385, 1570 - 1580. https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2034279

BACKGROUND: Variability in ultrafiltration influences prescriptions and outcomes in patients with kidney failure who are treated with peritoneal dialysis. Variants in AQP1, the gene that encodes the archetypal water channel aquaporin-1, may contribut... Read More about AQP1 Promoter Variant, Water Transport, and Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis..

Renal staffs' understanding of patients' experiences of transition from peritoneal dialysis to in-centre haemodialysis and their views on service improvement: A multi-site qualitative study in England and Australia. (2021)
Journal Article
Jones, J. E., Damery, S. L., Allen, K., Johnson, D. W., Lambie, M., Holvoet, E., & Davies, S. J. (2021). Renal staffs' understanding of patients' experiences of transition from peritoneal dialysis to in-centre haemodialysis and their views on service improvement: A multi-site qualitative study in England and Australia. PloS one, 15(7), Article e0254931. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0254931

INTRODUCTION: Many studies have explored patients' experiences of dialysis and other treatments for kidney failure. This is the first qualitative multi-site international study of how staff perceive the process of a patient's transition from peritone...

A genome-wide association study suggests correlations of common genetic variants with peritoneal solute transfer rates in patients with kidney failure receiving peritoneal dialysis. (2021)
Journal Article
Davies, & Lambie. (2021). A genome-wide association study suggests correlations of common genetic variants with peritoneal solute transfer rates in patients with kidney failure receiving peritoneal dialysis. Kidney International, 1101-1111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2021.05.037

Movement of solutes across the peritoneum allows for the use of peritoneal dialysis to treat kidney failure. However, there is a large inter-individual variability in the peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR). Here, we tested the hypothesis that com...

MO681PERITONEAL DIALYSIS TIME ON THERAPY AND REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN DEATH, TRANSFER TO HEMODIALYSIS AND KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION: RESULTS FROM THE PDOPPS (2021)
Journal Article
Lambie, & Davies. (2021). MO681PERITONEAL DIALYSIS TIME ON THERAPY AND REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN DEATH, TRANSFER TO HEMODIALYSIS AND KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION: RESULTS FROM THE PDOPPS. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation,

Abstract Background and Aims Comparing and interpreting regional differences in peritoneal dialysis (PD) time on therapy needs to consider differences in the rates of permanent transfer to hemodialysis (HDT), death or kidney transplantation. Here we... Read More about MO681PERITONEAL DIALYSIS TIME ON THERAPY AND REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN DEATH, TRANSFER TO HEMODIALYSIS AND KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION: RESULTS FROM THE PDOPPS.

MO680INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS OF ICODEXTRIN PRESCRIPTION PRACTICE AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH FLUID REMOVAL, BLOOD PRESSURE, PATIENT AND TECHNIQUE SURVIVAL* (2021)
Journal Article
Davies. (2021). MO680INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS OF ICODEXTRIN PRESCRIPTION PRACTICE AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH FLUID REMOVAL, BLOOD PRESSURE, PATIENT AND TECHNIQUE SURVIVAL*. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfab101.002

Abstract Background and Aims Icodextrin is designed to maintain ultrafiltration during the long dwell, especially when there is a risk of increased fluid reabsorption (fast peritoneal solute transfer rate, PSTR), without the need for excessive use o...
