Prevalence of Protein-Energy Wasting and Its Association With Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Iranian Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

In addition, serum concentrations of CVD risk factors are dependent on the amount of glucose absorbed from PD solutions and are more impaired in PD patients without PEW as compared to those with PEW.
