... of dialysis patients have determined that C-reactive protein (CRP) is a predictor of morbidity. Little is known as to whether CRP, cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-1β that stimulate the synthesis of CRP, or matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are markers of inflammation in patients on dialysis. Methods: We assayed...

... are common features of the diseased peritoneum. Peritonitis can lead to ultrafiltration failure, but the precise mechanism is not clear. The key enzymes in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, namely matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), are produced by human...
