Staphylococcal infections are the major causes of morbidity in haemodialysis patients. The source of the staphylococci is the anterior nares. Elimination of nasal carriage of staphylococci could result in a remarkable decrease in the infection rate. The aim of this study was to investigate if there
To study the effect of glucose concentration and dwell time of dialysis fluid on peritoneal antibacterial defence, an experimental infection with Staphylococcus aureus was induced in rats. For this purpose rats were inoculated intraperitoneally with Staphylococcus aureus at different intervals after
To study the influence of dialysis fluid on the antibacterial defense in the peritoneal cavity of rats, especially glucose concentration and dwell time, an experimental infection was developed. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with dialysis fluid with a glucose concentration of 1.36%, 2.27%, or
A solution for peritoneal dialysis stored in bags made from material which does not contain diethylhexyl phthalate is significantly less contaminated with this plasticizer, as compared with a solution stored in bags made from PVC with diethylhexyl phthalate. The afferent tube which contains
BACKGROUND
This study was performed to establish a model for quantitative measurements of a number of basic peritoneal transport parameters, particularly transperitoneal clearances (Cl) of macromolecules, during mouse peritoneal dialysis.
METHODS
Mice were anaesthetized using 3% isofluorane
Our studies aimed at determining a loss of active heparin from the peritoneal cavity after its intraperitoneal administration (250 JU/l of dialysis fluid) in 16 patients treated because of the end-stage renal failure with intermittent peritoneal dialysis and at comparing heparin influx clearance
Lymphatic drainage from the peritoneal cavity occurs mainly via the subdiaphragmatic stomata and significantly reduces net ultrafiltration and solute clearances during long-dwell peritoneal dialysis. Intraperitoneal cholinergic drugs constrict these stomata and may reduce peritoneal cavity lymphatic
Since patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis are at high risk for peritonitis, the opsonins in peritoneal dialysis effluent responsible for phagocytosis and a neutrophil chemiluminescence response to surface-adherent Staphylococcus epidermidis were examined. In surface phagocytosis
BACKGROUND
The diffusion of high-performance analytical technology has opened prospects for breath diagnosis as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. In this study, ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) techniques were used to analyse ammonia gas (NH3) in real-time in
Free-living amoebae (FLA) of the genus Acanthamoeba are opportunistic pathogenic agents able to cause life-threatening infections in immunosuppressed patients. Chronic kidney disease impairs adaptive and innate immunity. Thus, patients with chronic kidney disease are prone to opportunistic
Background: We previously found that worse dental caries status was associated with high pulse pressure among patients on hemodialysis, indicating that such patients might have arteriosclerosis. In this study, we used abdominal computed
The uptake of vancomycin from the peritoneal cavity during acute episodes of peritonitis was compared to noninfected patients in 14 patients, 7 of whom had dialysis-related peritonitis. Treatment consisted of 8 hourly dialysate exchanges, followed by 4-h dwells containing 37.5 mg/L of vancomycin. On
Preservation of peritoneal cavity homeostasis and peritoneal membrane function is critical for long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the regulation of key molecular pathways driving peritoneal membrane alterations leading to PD failure.
Current information on the effect of peritoneal dialysis on host defenses in the peritoneal cavity is limited to in vitro studies. In the present study, clearance of Staphylococcus epidermidis from the abdominal cavity was assessed in an animal model undergoing peritoneal dialysis. In
This article provides a review of studies on peritoneal white blood cells (WBC) in CAPD patients. To some extent these studies support the concept that the peritoneal cavity of these patients contains adequate-functioning WBC that can provide effective antimicrobial defenses when they are studied in
