Role of macrophages in peritoneal dialysis-associated peritoneal fibrosis. [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be used as renal replacement therapy when chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses to end-stage renal disease. However, peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is a major cause of PD failure. Studies have demonstrated that PD fluid contains a significantly larger numbers of macrophages compared with the healthy individuals.

Delayed Administration of Nintedanib Ameliorates Fibrosis Progression in CG-Induced Peritoneal Fibrosis Mouse Model [PDF]
Background: A multiple-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor, nintedanib, which is approved for treatment of interstitial pulmonary disease, has been demonstrated to have anti-fibrotic activity outside of the lungs.

A review of research progress on mechanisms of peritoneal fibrosis related to peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective alternative treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is increasingly being adopted and promoted worldwide. However, as the duration of peritoneal dialysis extends, it can expose problems with

Mechanisms underlying the involvement of peritoneal macrophages in the pathogenesis and novel therapeutic strategies for dialysis-induced peritoneal fibrosis [PDF]
Long-term exposure of the peritoneum to peritoneal dialysate results in pathophysiological changes in the anatomical organization of the peritoneum and progressive development of peritoneal fibrosis.

Clinical and preclinical studies of mesenchymal stem cells to alleviate peritoneal fibrosis [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis is an important part of end-stage kidney disease replacement therapy. However, prolonged peritoneal dialysis can result in peritoneal fibrosis and ultrafiltration failure, forcing patients to withdraw from peritoneal dialysis ...

Tamoxifen ameliorates peritoneal membrane damage by blocking mesothelial to mesenchymal transition in peritoneal dialysis. [PDF]
Mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT) is an auto-regulated physiological process of tissue repair that in uncontrolled conditions such as peritoneal dialysis (PD) can lead to peritoneal fibrosis.

Galectin-1 promotes gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis through peritoneal fibrosis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Peritoneal metastasis is one of the main causes of death in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Galectin-1 regulates various undesirable biological behaviors in GC and may be key in GC peritoneal metastasis. Methods

Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Peritoneal Fibrosis and Peritoneal Membrane Dysfunction in Peritoneal Dialysis. [PDF]
The characteristic feature of chronic peritoneal damage in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a decline in ultrafiltration capacity associated with pathological fibrosis and angiogenesis. The pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis is attributed to bioincompatible factors of PD fluid and peritonitis. Uremia is associated with peritoneal membrane inflammation that
