Faster peritoneal transport has been associated with an increased risk of therapy failure and patient mortality. However, faster transport can the result of many factors. Peritoneal protein clearance (PPC) has been proposed to distinguish faster peritoneal transport attributable to inflammatory conditions, as protein clearance reflects large-pore flow, which increases during inflammation. We followed a cohort of 300 peritoneal dialysis patients, and after adjustments for age and comorbidity, higher PPC was associated with increased risk of death (hazard ratio: 1.81; 95% confidence interval: 1.11 to 2.95), even after patients underwent transplantation or transferred to hemodialysis.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is used regularlly in treatment of ESRDs. Residual renal function (RRF) in these patients helps the adequacy of PD therapy very much. Objectives: 1. Study RRF of PD patients at Department of Nephro – Rheumatology, Hue Central Hospital. 2. Search the correlation between RRF and Kt/V. Patients and methods: 35 PD patients at Department of Nephro – Rheumatology, Hue Central Hospital. Measure RRF and Kt/V by formulars that depend on blood, urine and PD fluid samples. Results: Mean RRF of PD patients is 4.36 ± 13.8 ml/minute. There is a close correlation between RRF and Kt/V (r=0.79, p<0.01). Conclusion: RRF in PD patients correlates with Kt/V.
