Key result
Peritoneal small solute transport rate (D/P(cr)) was an independent predictor of elevated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in CAPD patients (P<0.05).

Higher peritoneal small solute transport rate is independently associated with elevated aortic stiffness in CAPD patients.
Zhe et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=76). Peritoneal small solute transport rate (D/P(cr)) was evaluated on Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) (r = 0.241, p=<0.05). Peritoneal small solute transport rate (D/P(cr)) was an independent predictor of elevated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in CAPD patients (P<0.05).
