Does lymphatic absorption change with the duration of peritoneal dialysis?
No time trend is present for the effective peritoneal lymphatic absorption rate, and it is not associated with patient or technique survival. Although increased lymphatic absorption is one of the causes of ultrafiltration failure, it is unlikely to contribute to the development of ultrafiltration failure in long-term PD patients with well-maintained transcapillary ultrafiltration.
these findings suggest that older people with unmet dental needs and those who expressed a lack of trust and confidence in their dentist were more likely to experience poor OHRQoL reinforcing the importance of the dental patient experience in healthy ageing and well-being.
