Human peritoneal mesothelial cell death induced by high-glucose hypertonic solution involves Ca2+ and Na+ ions and oxidative stress with the participation of PKC/NOX2 and PI3K/Akt pathways [PDF]
Indexación: Web of Science; Scopus.Chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy is equally efficient as hemodialysis while providing greater patient comfort and mobility. Therefore, PD is the treatment of choice for several types of renal patients. During PD,

Peritoneal fibrosis-future prevention strategies
AbstractPeritoneal fibrosis is one of the most serious complications of peritoneal dialysis, and is characterized by the activation of peritoneal resident cells (mesothelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and macrophages), induction of pro-fibrotic peptides, accumulation and deposition of excess matrix proteins within the submesothelium, and ...

Saha Suppresses Peritoneal Fibrosis in Mice [PDF]
Objective Long-term peritoneal dialysis causes peritoneal fibrosis in submesothelial areas. However, the mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis is unclear. Epigenetics is the mechanism to induce heritable changes without any changes in DNA sequences. Among epigenetic modifications, histone acetylation leads to the transcriptional activation of genes.

Smad7 gene transfer inhibits peritoneal fibrosis [PDF]
Fibrosis mediated by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a common cause of peritoneal dialysis (PD) failure. In a model of peritoneal fibrosis, we tested the effect of Smad7, an inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling, using an ultrasound-microbubble-mediated delivery system.

Aliskiren prevents the toxic effects of peritoneal dialysis fluids during chronic dialysis in rats. [PDF]
The benefits of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patients with end-stage renal failure are short-lived due to structural and functional changes in the peritoneal membrane.

Neutral solution low in glucose degradation products is associated with less peritoneal fibrosis and vascular sclerosis in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The effects of novel biocompatible peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions on human peritoneal membrane pathology have yet to be determined. Quantitative evaluation of human peritoneal biopsy specimens may reveal the effects of the new solutions ...

Targeting lysyl oxidase reduces peritoneal fibrosis [PDF]
Abdominal surgery and disease cause persistent abdominal adhesions, pelvic pain, infertility and occasionally, bowel obstruction. Current treatments are ineffective and the aetiology is unclear, although excessive collagen deposition is a consistent feature.
