Introduction. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is effective in reducing blood pressure. Mean arterial pressure falls within 6 months of starting CAPD in the majority of patients. This improved blood pressure control reflects removal of excess fluid volume and body sodium. However, after several years, there is a decline in the efficacy of CAPD in controlling blood pressure. High incidence of hypertension in long-term CAPD patients may be related to hypervolemia as a consequence of loss of residual renal function (RRF), loss of ultrafiltration (UF) due to functional or structural changes in the peritoneal membrane, to a more liberated intake of sodium and fluid, or to administration of erythropoietin. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy in blood pressure control in peritoneal dialysis patients depending on the dialysis modality and duration, RRF and dialysis adequacy. Material and methods. This study was a retrospective analysis of 67 patients who attended our Clinic monthly in 2003. All patients received antihy?pertensive therapy (monotherapy-16 pts, two drugs-27 pts, three drugs-22 pts and four-2 pts.). Results. The prevalence of hypertension (TA > 140/90 mmHg) was 73.13%. Most of them (50.75%) had mild hypertension (mean value TA < 160/100 mmHg). There was no statistically significant difference in hypertension prevalence between diabetic (78.27%) and non-diabetic patients (75%). The prevalence of hypertension in patients with residual diuresis of more than 1000 ml was 36.6%, but there were 80.64% patients with residual diuresis less than 500 ml. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between D/DO, UF volume and systolic blood pressure and RRF, D/DO and Ccr and diastolic blood pressure. A statistially significant positive correlation was found between age, body weight, duration of dialysis and systolic blood pressure and age and diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion. We can conclude that duration of PD treatment has a negative effect on blood pressure control. Residual renal function plays an important role in volume and blood pressure control. High and high average transporters are the two groups of patients at increased risk of developing hypertension, especially if they are anuric. .

Background Potential risk factors for 1-year mortality, including the peritoneal component of dialysis dose, residual renal function, demographic data, hematocrit, serum albumin, dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio, and blood pressure, were examined in a national cohort of peritoneal dialysis patients randomly selected for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Core Indicators Project. Methods The study involved retrospective analysis of a cohort of 1219 patients receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis who were alive on December 31, 1996. Results During the 1-year follow-up period, 275 patients were censored and 200 non censored patients died. Among the 763 patients who had at least one calculable adequacy measure, the mean [± standard deviation (SD)] weekly Kt/V urea was 2.16 ± 0.61 and the mean weekly creatinine clearance was 66.1 ± 24.4 L/1.73 m2. Excluding the 365 patients who were anuric, the mean (±SD) urinary weekly Kt/V urea was 0.64 ± 0.52 (median: 0.51) and the mean (±SD) urinary weekly creatinine clearance was 31.0 ± 23.3 L/1.73 m2 (median: 26.3 L/1.73 m2). By Cox proportional hazard modeling, lower quartiles of renal Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality; lower quartiles of renal creatinine clearance were of borderline significance for predicting 1-year mortality. The dialysate component of neither the weekly creatinine clearance nor the weekly Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality. Other predictors of 1-year mortality ( p < 0.01) included lower serum albumin level, older age, and the presence of diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESRD, and, for the creatinine clearance model only, lower diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion Residual renal function is an important predictor of 1-year mortality in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and bioavailibility of a commonly used oral furosemide dose (500 mg) compared to a 250 mg intravenous (IV) dose in PD patients with significant residual renal function (urine volume > 100 mL). We also evaluated the immediate blood pressure effect in these patients. The data were obtained from a study we performed for the homologation of a 500-mg dose of furosemide by Health Canada.

Abstract Background Residual renal function is closely linked to quality of life, morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Beta-trace protein (BTP), a low molecular weight protein, has been suggested as marker of residual renal function, in particular in patients on hemodialysis. We hypothesized that BTP also serves as a marker of residual renal function in pertioneal dialysis patients. Methods In this study 34 adult patients on peritoneal dialysis were included. BTP, creatinine, cystatin C and urea concentrations were analyzed simultaneously in serum and dialysate to calculate renal and peritoneal removal of the analytes. Results In peritoneal dialysis patients with residual diuresis, mean serum BTP was 8.16 mg/l (SD ± 4.75 mg/l). BTP correlated inversely with residual diuresis (rs = − 0.58, p < 0.001), residual creatinine clearance (ClCr) (rs = − 0.69, p < 0.001) and total urea clearance (Clurea) (rs = − 0.56, p < 0.001). Mean peritoneal removal of BTP was 3.36 L/week/1.73m2 (SD ± 1.38) and mean renal removal 15.14 L/week/1.73m2 (SD ± 12.65) demonstrating a significant renal contribution to the total removal. Finally, serum BTP inversely correlated with alterations in residual diuresis (r = − 0.41, p = 0.035) and renal creatinine clearance over time (r = − 0.79, p = p < 0.001). Conclusion BTP measurement in the serum may be a simple tool to assess residual renal function in peritoneal dialysis patients.
