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..

Background UK academic foundation programme (AFP) is an important steppingstone into academic surgical training, but there is paucity in undergraduate preparedness. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual webinar series to prepare student...

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...

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...

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 (vol 13, pg 1526, 2018).
