Association between Markers of Inflammation, Fibrosis and Hypervolemia in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Volume expansion in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. The link between inflammation and hypervolemia has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to determine if an association exists between hypervolemia and markers of inflammation in PD patients.
METHODS: In this cross-sectional study of 22 prevalent PD patients, volume was determined by bioelectrical impedance …
