Iodine-induced hypothyroidism (IIH) in paediatric patients receiving peritoneal dialysis: Is risk mitigation possible?
Perit Dial Int. 2023 Jul 3:8968608231183853. doi: 10.1177/08968608231183853. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren with kidney failure who receive maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD) are at increased risk for thyroid dysfunction. A poorly appreciated cause of hypothyroidism related to PD is iodine overload from exposure to iodine-containing cleaning solutions, iodinated contrast agents or povidone-iodine-containing PD caps, particularly in infants and small children. An international survey was conducted to understand current practices regarding iodine exposure in PD patients, the frequency of iodine-induced hypothyroidi...

Bones of contention: Predicting and preventing fractures in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis
Perit Dial Int. 2023 Jun 25:8968608231181264. doi: 10.1177/08968608231181264. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLow bone density is common among those individuals receiving peritoneal dialysis. While cross-sectional studies support an association between low bone mineral density (BMD) and prevalent fracture, relying on bone density alone, particularly at the lumbar spine and in those with high degrees of hyperparathyroidism may underestimate fracture risk. Commonly used risk calculators in the general population have been shown to perform reasonably well in those receiving dialysis although they do not include any risk factors...
