Increasing ultrafiltration may lower BP in high-transport CAPD patients; leaves open effects on LVH and outcomes.
Are peritoneal transport properties associated with 24-hour blood pressure levels and left ventricular hypertrophy in CAPD patients?
In CAPD patients, high peritoneal transport status is associated with higher blood pressure, and improving volume status via increased ultrafiltration significantly reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Tonbul et al. (2003) studied this question.
