Objective: The efficacy of icodextrin versus glucose patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis remains unclear. The study was designed to compare the effects of once-daily long-dwell icodextrin versus glucose on markers of hypervolemia and survival among patients with kidney failure undergoing an unplanned initiation of automated peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: This was a randomized, non-blinded, and prospective controlled study.

Introduction: The connection between peritoneal function and gut microbiota in peritoneal fibrosis (PF) patients remains uncertain.
Methods: Peritoneal equilibration test (PET) was employed to evaluate peritoneal function in patients with peritoneal fibrosis (PF). 16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyze the gut flora in incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) and PF groups, identifying differential microbial communities.

Background: Encapsulated peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a serious complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Neutral-pH dialysate is associated with less peritoneal damage and a lower incidence of EPS than conventional PD solution. However, monitoring for peritoneal damage and predicting EPS remain important during PD therapy.

Introduction: Peritoneal equilibration test (PET) has been used to monitor peritoneal function. A more convenient marker would be useful in clinical situations including home medical care. Autotaxin is known to leak into the interstitium as vascular permeability increases during the progression of tissue fibrosis.

Background: The peritoneal solute transport rate (PSTR) tends to increase over time in some patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), potentially leading to ultrafiltration (UF) failure. Previous case reports have shown a significant decrease in PSTR and subsequent recovery of UF after discontinuing PD for a while. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled crossover study to evaluate the impact of short-term peritoneal rest on PSTR.
