Some patients who had carried out long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis discontinued the treatment because of progressive peritoneal fibrosis. It has been previously reported that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is one of the factors that induces peritoneal fibrosis. Also, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a role in the prevention of fibrosis and in inhibiting TGF-beta1 production. In this study, we examined the effects of HGF on peritoneal fibrosis by TGF-beta1 induced by high concentrations of D-glucose.
