Analgesia dose prescribing and estimated glomerular filtration rate decline: a general practice database linkage cohort study (2014)
Journal Article
Nderitu, P., Doos, L., Strauss, V. Y., Lambie, M., Davies, S. J., & Kadam, U. T. (2014). Analgesia dose prescribing and estimated glomerular filtration rate decline: a general practice database linkage cohort study. BMJ Open, 4(8), e005581-e005581. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2014-005581

Objective We aimed to quantify the short-term effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin and paracetamol analgesia dose prescribing on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in the general practice population.

Patients’ Perceptions of Information and Education for Renal Replacement Therapy: An Independent Survey by the European Kidney Patients' Federation on Information and Support on Renal Replacement Therapy (2014)
Journal Article
Van Biesen, W., van der Veer, S. N., Murphey, M., Loblova, O., & Davies, S. (in press). Patients’ Perceptions of Information and Education for Renal Replacement Therapy: An Independent Survey by the European Kidney Patients' Federation on Information and Support on Renal Replacement Therapy. PloS one, 9(7), Article e103914. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0103914

Background
Selection of an appropriate renal replacement modality is of utmost importance for patients with end stage renal disease. Previous studies showed provision of information to and free modality choice by patients to be suboptimal. Therefore...

Longitudinal Study of Small Solute Transport and Peritoneal Protein Clearance in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients (2014)
Journal Article
Yu, Z., Lambie, M., & Davies, S. J. (2014). Longitudinal Study of Small Solute Transport and Peritoneal Protein Clearance in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 9(2), 326-334. https://doi.org/10.2215/cjn.04420413

Background and objectives
Peritoneal protein clearance (Pcl) is determined by both effective (small pores) membrane area and relative capillary leakiness (large pores). It is not known how these two components change with duration of peritoneal dia...

Extending the role of peritoneal dialysis: can we win hearts and minds? (2014)
Journal Article
Davies, S., Lally, F., Satchithananda, D., Kadam, U., & Roffe, C. (2014). Extending the role of peritoneal dialysis: can we win hearts and minds?. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 29(9), 1648-1654. https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfu001

Background
The ability of peritoneal dialysis (PD) to achieve low-molecular weight solute clearance and ultrafiltration at low haemodynamic cost makes it an attractive therapy in situations where more aggressive therapy may be undesirable due to sud...

Histological and clinical findings in patients with post-transplantation and classical encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis: a European multicenter study. (2014)
Journal Article
Latus, J., Habib, S. M., Kitterer, D., Korte, M. R., Ulmer, C., Fritz, P., …Braun, N. (2014). Histological and clinical findings in patients with post-transplantation and classical encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis: a European multicenter study. PloS one, 9(8), Article e106511. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0106511

BACKGROUND: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) commonly presents after peritoneal dialysis has been stopped, either post-transplantation (PT-EPS) or after switching to hemodialysis (classical EPS, cEPS). The aim of the present study was to inve...
