Effect of different dialysis modalities on microinflammatory status and endothelial damage.
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We studied the relationship between microinflammation and endothelial damage in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on different dialysis modalities. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Four groups of CKD stage 5 patients were studied: 1) 14 nondialysis CKD patients (CKD-NonD); 2) 15 hemodialysis patients (HD); 3) 12 peritoneal dialysis patients with residual renal function >1 ml/min (PD-RRF >1); and 4) 13 peritoneal dialysis patients with residual renal function
