Different prognosis in patients of peritoneal dialysis with high peritoneal solute transport / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

To investigate association between prognosis of patients of peritoneal dialysis with their initial high peritoneal solute transport and complications. Two hundred and two patients with end-stage renal disease who began peritoneal dialysis during September 1,2006 to September 1, 2008 at Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing were recruited in the study. They were undergone peritoneal equilibration test within six weeks after initiating peritoneal dialysis, and their types of peritoneal solute transport, complications,nutrition status and outcomes were all recorded until August 31,2010. Their survival rate was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Compare to those with other types of solute transport, patients with high peritoneal solute transport showed higher proportion of complications ( P < 0. 05 ) during dialysis, but less ultrafiltration function ( P < 0. 05 ), worse nutrition status ( P < 0. 05 ) and lower cumulative survival rate ( P < 0. 01 ).Among patients with high peritoneal solute transport, cumulative survival rate in those with complication was lower than those without it ( P = 0. 031 ). Prognosis of patients with high peritoneal solute transport possibly varies with their complications in dialysis.
