May link oxidative stress to thrombotic pathways in peritoneal dialysis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Is there an association between tissue factor, its inhibitor, and oxidative stress in peritoneal dialysis patients?
Increased oxidative stress is associated with elevated tissue factor and its inhibitor levels in peritoneal dialysis patients, suggesting a potential mechanism for thrombotic complications in this population.
Pawlak et al. (2007) studied this question.
