Peritoneal dialysis and peritoneal fibrosis: molecular mechanisms, risk factors and prospects for prevention [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) leads to structural and functional changes in the peritoneal membrane, the endpoint of which is peritoneal fibrosis. Peritoneal fibrosis is diagnosed in 50% and 80% of PD patients within 1 and 2 years of treatment initiation ...

Deletion of p38 MAPK in macrophages ameliorates peritoneal fibrosis and inflammation in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
One of the most common causes of peritoneal dialysis withdrawal is ultrafiltration failure which is characterized by peritoneal membrane thickening and fibrosis.

Preventing Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Fibrosis by Therapeutic Blunting of Peritoneal Toll-Like Receptor Activity [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an essential daily life-saving treatment for end-stage renal failure. PD therapy is limited by peritoneal inflammation, which leads to peritoneal membrane failure as a result of progressive fibrosis.

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

Experimental systems to study the origin of the myofibroblast in peritoneal fibrosis
Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the major complications occurring in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients as a result of injury. Peritoneal fibrosis is characterized by submesothelial thickening and fibrosis which is associated with a decline in ...

Inhibition of the H3K4 methyltransferase SET7/9 ameliorates peritoneal fibrosis. [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a major mediator of peritoneal fibrosis and reportedly affects expression of the H3K4 methyltransferase, SET7/9.
