Background: Albumin, the most abundant protein in the extracellular fluid, displays an important antioxidant activity. Increased levels of oxidized albumin levels (high human non-mercaptoalbumin (HNA) level) have been reported in the serum of patients with end-stage renal disease. In this study, we attempted to identify the albumin redox status in the serum of patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and examined the relationship between these proteins and the transport type of the peritoneal membrane and other clinical and laboratory variables. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of a cohort of 80 patients with end-stage renal disease receiving PD. Peritoneal transport characteristics were identified and after peritoneal equilibration test patients were grouped as high (high(H)/high-average (HA) group, n = 31) or low (low (L)/low-average (LA) group, n = 49) transporters. The redox state of human serum albumin was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: The fraction of human mercaptoalbumin (HMA) showed significantly higher values in patients with high transport status than those with low transport status (f(HMA) 64.0 ± 5.4 and 52.7 ± 10.4%, respectively). Our data showed that the H/HA transport characteristic was associated with lower albumin (3.76 ± 0.48 vs. 4.00 ± 0.35, p < 0.05), and lower levels of advanced oxidized protein product (p = 0.008) when compared with the L/LA type. A correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between dialysate/plasma (D/P) creatinine and f(HMA) levels (r = 0.511, p < 0.0001), as well as hemoglobin levels r = 0.231, p = 0.044 and a negative correlation between D/P creatinine and serum albumin, cholesterol and LDL levels (r = -0.236, p = 0.039; r = -0.237, p = 0.038; r = -0.272, p = 0.018, respectively). Conclusions: This study showed that higher serum levels of reduced albumin f(HMA) appear to be associated with high/high average peritoneal membrane transport characteristics in the incident PD patients.

Introduction Low serum albumin is associated with high mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on chronic dialysis. Clinicians are reluctant to offer peritoneal dialysis (PD) as an option for dialysis for patients with low serum albumin due to concerns of loss of albumin with PD, but evidence supporting differences in outcomes is limited. We evaluated mortality based on dialysis modality in patients with very low serum albumin (< 2.5 g/dL). Methods We analyzed United States Renal Data System (USRDS) data from 2010 to 2015 to assess mortality by modality adjusted for age, sex, race, employment, number of comorbidities, and year of dialysis initiation. Results Low serum albumin (< 2.5 g/dL) was present in 78,625 (19.9%) of 395,656 patients with ESRD on chronic dialysis. Patients with low serum albumin were less likely to use PD as their first modality than those with higher albumin (3.1% vs 10.9%; p < 0.001). Use of PD was associated with lower mortality compared with hemodialysis (HD) (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.81 – 0.95, p < 0.05) in patients with low serum albumin. This difference was more pronounced in patients who had glomerulonephritis (HR = 0.72) or hypertension (HR = 0.81) than in those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to diabetes mellitus or other causes. Conclusion Peritoneal dialysis is less likely to be the first dialysis modality in patients with low serum albumin requiring dialysis. However, PD is associated with lower mortality than HD in patients with low serum albumin on dialysis. We recommend advocating the use of PD in patients with low serum albumin.

Abstract Background With the increasing incidence of end stage renal disease(ESRD),peritoneal dialysis(PD) has become the preferred method of kidney replacement therapy for an increasing number of patients with end stage renal disease due to its many advantages.The intent of this study was to explore the correlations between sex, age and risk of withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis.Methods All patients who underwent PD catheterization and initiated PD at Wuhan No.1 Hospital between 2013 and 2018 were screened.Clinical information of these patients was collected and compared according to gender and age,then was applied to the Cox proportional hazards model to determine the impact of factors of withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis.Results ①Hazard ratios(HRs) of withdrawal of PD associate with gender and age at initiation were 0.736(P = 0.289)、1.151༈P = 0.489༉respectively.Nonetheless,male patients under 60 years old had a 1.58-fold higher risk of withdrawal than others(HR 0.63,P = 0.031).②The withdrawal risk of patients with total Creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) above 60L/W was 82.4% higher than that of patients who did not meet the standard (HR 1.82,P = 0.005).③The withdrawal risk of patients with high D/P Creatinine༈Cr༉value which was calculated from peritoneal equilibration test(PET) were 2.06 times higher than low-average and high-average transport patients(HR2.06,P = 0.008).④Patients with serum albumin above 35 g/L were intended to withdraw from PD than those below 35 g/L (HR 0.56,P = 0.006).Conclusions There were significant differences in total KT/V, total Ccr,serum creatinine(Scr) and blood Urea nitrogen(BUN)among patients with PD of different gender and age.The analysis showed that male patients under 60 years old, Ccr, value of D/Pcr and serum albumin had a high correlation with the technical survival rates.While gender or age at PD initiation were not associated with technique survival,male patients under 60 years old had a 1.58-fold higher risk of withdrawal from PD than others.The outcome that the withdrawal risk of patients with Ccr above 60L/W was 82.4% higher than other patients who did not meet the standard suggested that Ccr was not suitable as an index for evaluating the adequacy of PD,especially for men under 60 years old.And patients with high D/Pcr value or with serum albumin under 35 g/L were related risk factors for technique survival.

Glycosylation may strongly affect protein structure and functions. A high risk of cardiovascular complications seen in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is, at least partly associated with delayed clot formation, increased clot strength, and delayed cloth lysis. Taking into consideration that fibrinogen mediates these processes, we isolated fibrinogen from the plasma from patients with ESRD on peritoneal dialysis (ESRD-PD), and examined glycosylation of native fibrinogen and its subunits by lectin-based microarray and lectin blotting. Compared to healthy controls, fibrinogen from patients had increased levels of A2BG2 and decreased levels of FA2 glycan. The distribution of glycans on individual chains was also affected, with the γ chain, responsible for physiological functions of fibrinogen (such as coagulation and platelet aggregation), being most prone to these alterations. Increased levels of multi-antennary N-glycans in ESRD-PD patients were also associated with the type of dialysis solutions, whereas an increase in the fucosylation levels was strongly related to the peritoneal membrane damage. Consequently, investigation of fibrinogen glycans can offer better insight into fibrinogen-related complications observed in ESRD-PD patients and, additionally, contribute to prognosis, choice of personalised therapy, determination of peritoneal membrane damage, and the length of utilization of peritoneum for dialysis.

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.
