Why the study?

Does peritoneal transport status affect cardiac function and biochemical parameters in pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients?

Population

110 pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients, mean age 13 +/- 5 years, PD vintage 31 +/- 27 months

Comparison

High or high-average peritoneal transporter status vs Low-average/low peritoneal transporter status

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

Peritoneal transport status was not linked to cardiac changes in pediatric PD; leaves open whether biochemical differences affect outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does peritoneal transport status affect cardiac function and biochemical parameters in pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients?

P
Population
110 pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients, mean age 13 +/- 5 years, PD vintage 31 +/- 27 months
I
Intervention
High or high-average peritoneal transporter status (based on 4-hour dialysate/plasma creatinine ratio)
C
Comparator
Low-average/low peritoneal transporter status
O
Outcome
Cardiac structural and functional parameters (ejection fraction, fractional shortening, left ventricular mass index, myocardial performance index, power Doppler E/tissue Doppler E ratio) and biochemical datasurrogate

Peritoneal transport rates do not significantly impact cardiac structural or functional parameters in pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients.
