Moriishi M et al. – In peritoneal dialysis patients with a high eFDP level, steroid therapy effectively led to a decline in eFDPs. We suggest that peritoneal dialysis patients with an eFDP level above 40 microg/mL should receive steroid therapy. Such steroid therapy may prevent EPS development, but a therapeutic effect cannot be expected in cases in which a high eFDP level has persisted for a prolonged period followed by a further increase. Thus, steroids should be administered in the earliest phase of elevation in the eFDP level. Further work is needed to determine the optimal dose of steroid.
