... decrease in serum PTH. We analysed the effect of reduced calcium/magnesium (1.25/0.25 mmol/l), 40 mmol/l lactate, PD fluid (PD4) on 11 CAPD patients with uncontrollable hypercalcaemia ( > 2.65 mmol/l) and hyperphosphataemia ( > 1.80 mmol/l). Only 1 patient remained hypercalcaemic, while phosphate...

...G. Buccianti; M.L. Bianchi; G. Valenti; M. Lorenz; D. Cresseri Mineral metabolism was studied in 31 patients with chronic renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for a year. After baseline observations, 1-year calcifediol treatment was started in all the patients (100 μg...

Weimar After influenza vaccination no statistically significant difference in antibody response was observed between patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and healthy volunteers while a large group...

... of renal replacement therapy. Therefore, several recently discovered LMWPs such as α 1 -microglobulin have to be evaluated concerning their contribution to the uremic syndrome. Although we observed a considerable daily loss of total protein into the CAPD dialysate, no differences were found in the removal...

...J.F. Marichal; Bernadette Faller; P. Brignon; D. Wagner; P. Straub The authors report the history of two patients treated with CAPD who developed a progressive calcifying peritonitis (PCP). The symptoms include abdominal pain, impairment of bowel movements, sterile effluent dialysate...

... ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In the same subjects the T-cell growth factor (TCGF) activity and the T-cell subset identification have also been assessed. The results show in uremic patients, particularly in the presence of reduced OKT4 subset and TCGF activity, a blockage of the interactions between...

...Satwant Singh; Changgi D. Hong; Audrey Dale; Bettye Morgan A standard acid loading test was used to assess the buffering capacity in 9 hemodialysis (HD) and 25 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. There was a significant increase in H + concentration and a decrease in plasma...

... (CAPD) were studied. Most mass transfer studies revealed modest losses of calcium into peritoneal effluents. Peritoneal losses of phosphorus and magnesium, although substantial, were not sufficient to normalize hyperphosphatemia and hypermagnesemia in most patients. Parathormone and vitamin D...
