Adhesion-related readmissions after surgery for deep endometriosis with the use of icodextrin-long-term results [PDF]
, 2016 Icodextrin (AdeptA (R)) has been shown to prevent postoperative adhesions in experimental and laparoscopic adhesiolysis surgery. However, the role of icodextrin in the prevention of adhesions in extensive gynecological surgery is unclear.

Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis: When to Consider Acute Pancreatitis? Case Report and Mini-Review
Case Reports in Nephrology and DialysisIntroduction: Acute pancreatitis is an infrequent but challenging cause of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Presentation is often indistinguishable from infectious peritonitis, interpretation of pancreatic enzymes is not straight-forward, and ...

The danger of using inappropriate point-of-care glucose meters in patients on icodextrin dialysis
, 2011 AIMS Icodextrin is a glucose polymer used to maintain an osmotic gradient in peritoneal dialysis. Metabolites of icodextrin are known to cause overestimation of blood glucose in glucose meters using glucose dehydrogenase/pyrroloquinolinequinone systems ...

Peritoneal Dialysis in Diabetics: There Is Room for More
International Journal of Nephrology, 2011 End stage renal disease diabetic patients suffer from worse clinical outcomes under dialysis-independently of modality. Peritoneal dialysis offers them the advantages of home therapy while sparing their frail vascular capital and preserving residual ...

The variability in ultrafiltration achieved with icodextrin, possibly explained.
, 2009 BACKGROUND: A recent study by Jeloka et al. (Perit Dial Int 2006; 26:336-40) highlighted the high variability in maximum ultrafiltered volume (UF(max)) and the corresponding dwell time (t(max)) obtained using 7.5% icodextrin solution.
