Peritoneal membrane thickness in incident peritoneal dialysis patients is associated with comorbidity, solute transport rate and ultrafiltration failure
Portuguese Journal of Nephrology and Hypertension, 04/10/09

Matias P et al. - The study demonstrates that peritoneal membrane thickness at the beginning of PD is associated with baseline high transport status and is a predictor of development of UF failure. Biopsy of the peritoneum at the beginning of PD during Tenckhoff catheter placement is a simple and innocuous procedure. Histologic evaluation of the peritoneal membrane could show morphologic changes capable of predicting peritoneal function decline, and therefore contribute to suitably tailoring PD prescription.
