Key result
Higher residual renal function was independently associated with better endothelial function, as measured by flow-mediated dilation, in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Preserving residual renal function may benefit endothelial function in peritoneal dialysis; leaves open causality and requires prospective trials.

Higher residual renal function is independently associated with better preserved endothelial function in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, suggesting a vascular protective role.
Han et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in End-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis (n=72). Residual renal function vs. Lower residual renal function / Anuria was evaluated on Flow-mediated dilation (FMD%) (β = 0.317, p=0.017). Higher residual renal function was independently associated with better endothelial function, as measured by flow-mediated dilation, in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
