pubmed:abstractText |
Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients who develop peritoneal ultrafiltration failure have an abnormally large number of capillaries and sclerotic changes in peritoneal biopsy. Peritoneal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production has been suggested to explain the higher levels in peritoneal effluent than in plasma. The high effluent VEGF levels have been related to peritoneal changes consisting of increased permeability to small molecules. To further analyze the relationship between peritoneal neoangiogenesis induced by VEGF and peritoneal transport, we studied peritoneal effluent VEGF levels in active PD patients.
