Does the biocompatibility of the peritoneal dialysis solution matter in assessment of peritoneal function?
The results obtained with the glucose-containing normal pH/low GDP dialysis solution were similar to those obtained with the glucose-containing low pH/high GDP dialysate in assessments of peritoneal membrane function.
These findings have clear implications for our understanding of age-associated cellular changes in the context of wound healing, the latter acting as a paradigm for other age-related repair and maintenance processes, and suggest estrogen has a more profound influence on aging than previously thought.
