International variations in serum PTH and calcium levels and their mortality associations in peritoneal dialysis patients: Results from PDOPPS
CONCLUSIONS: A large proportion of PD patients in this multi-national study have calcium and/or PTH levels in ranges associated with substantially higher mortality. These observations point to the need to substantially improve MBD management in PD to optimise patient outcomes.LAY SUMMARY: Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (MBD) is a systemic condition, common in dialysis patients, that results in abnormalities in parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism. A large proportion of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in this current multi-national study had calcium and/or PTH levels in ran...

Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 concentration and the risk of mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis
CONCLUSION: High serum FGF23 concentration is associated with a higher risk of infection-related death for incident PD patients.PMID:38449341 | DOI:10.1177/08968608241231697 (Source: Peritoneal Dialysis International)

Rapid point-of-care test for diagnosis of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients
CONCLUSIONS: Periplex had high sensitivity, and positive and negative predictive values in the diagnosis of peritonitis can be considered as a screening tool for peritonitis. Given its high specificity and negative predictive value, it may also be used to document the resolution of peritonitis.PMID:38453893 | DOI:10.1177/08968608241234728 (Source: Peritoneal Dialysis International)
