Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
The potential use of the peritoneum as a dialyzing membrane was recognized as early as 1923 (1, 2). Nevertheless, not until a permanent indwelling peritoneal catheter was developed in 1964 by Palmer et al. (3) and later modified by Tenckhoff (4), did long-term intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) become a practical alternative to hemodialysis ...

Peritonitis in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
INTRODUCTION: Access to hemodialysis is limited in Nepal due to geographical terrain and hemodialysis centers being mostly limited to major city. Therefore, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is likely to be a better option in Nepal. In 1998, CAPD was initiated in Nepal without success. High rate of peritonitis was cited for failure.

Amyloidosis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
Summary We report a 53 year old man with chronic renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Following eight episodes of severe peritonitis over a 2 year period, he died and was found to have widespread AA amyloid at post-mortem.

Abstract Introduction Peritoneal solute transfer rates (PSTR) are reported to increase with time. Changes in PSTR were reviewed in long‐term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients to determine whether lower glucose degradation products (low GDP) dialysates prevented an increase in PSTR. Methods PSTR was determined with a 4‐h peritoneal equilibrium test with

Text mining for case report articles on “peritoneal dialysis” from PubMed database
Abstract Introduction The number of published medical articles on peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been increasing, and efficiently selecting information from numerous articles can be difficult. In this study, we examined whether artificial intelligence (AI) text mining can be a good support for efficiently collecting PD information.

ABSTRACT Background Pulp calcification (PC) is a common imaging finding traditionally attributed to local factors or ageing. However, increasing evidence suggests that it may be associated with broader systemic biological disturbances. Clarifying this association may help determine whether dental pulp findings contribute to the interpretation of ...

Complications of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is used to treat end-stage renal failure in an increasing number of patients. CAPD has an advantage over hemodialysis in that it allows patients greater freedom to perform daily activities; it also provides other clinical benefits. However, the long-term effectiveness of CAPD is limited by complications,

ABSTRACT Background Several case reports have linked low‐dose methotrexate to serious adverse events, including death, in dialysis patients. We compared the risk of serious adverse events in dialysis patients initiating low‐dose methotrexate versus hydroxychloroquine.

A clinically aligned two‐stage machine learning framework integrates preoperative and perioperative features to predict hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy. Explainable risk stratification may support individualised calcium management and early intervention for high‐risk patients.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
