Does alanyl-glutamine supplementation offer potential to improve peritoneal dialysate biocompatibility? (2018)
Journal Article
Davies. (2018). Does alanyl-glutamine supplementation offer potential to improve peritoneal dialysate biocompatibility?. Kidney International, 1050 -1052. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2018.09.012

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...

The use of bioimpedance spectroscopy to guide fluid management in patients receiving dialysis (2018)
Journal Article
Tabinor, M., & Davies, S. (2018). The use of bioimpedance spectroscopy to guide fluid management in patients receiving dialysis. Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 27(6), 406-412. https://doi.org/10.1097/MNH.0000000000000445

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the findings of recent trials and meta-analyses designed to determine whether bioimpedance spectroscopy adds value to the clinical assessment of fluid status in dialysis patients so as to achieve a normally hydrated we...

Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport (2018)
Journal Article
Davies, & Lambie. (2018). Biocompatible Solutions and Long-Term Changes in Peritoneal Solute Transport. Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1526-1533. https://doi.org/10.2215/%3FCJN.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 bio... 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)
Journal Article
Brenna, I., Elphick, E., Lambie, M., & Davies, S. (2018). FP467 CHANGES IN DIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION AFFECT THE TIME COURSE OF SOLUTE TRANSPORT IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 33(suppl_1), i194-i194. https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfy104.fp467

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...

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...

United Kingdom Catheter Study - Protocol Synopsis. (2018)
Journal Article
Briggs, V., Solis-Trapala, I., Wailloo, A., McCulloch, K., Lambie, M., Caskey, F., …Wilkie, M. (2018). United Kingdom Catheter Study - Protocol Synopsis. https://doi.org/10.3747/pdi.2017.00083

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..
