Overhydration May Be the Missing Link between Peritoneal Protein Clearance and Mortality

Conclusions: The uni- and multivariable strong associations between fluid overload and PPCl support the importance of hydrostatic pressure-induced convection for PPCl. Also, peritoneal small solute transport was associated with PPCl. Both are amenable by adjusted dialysis prescription, especially focused on fluid status and avoidance of overhydration. The assumption of an association with inflammation and malnutrition was not confirmed.Nephron
