ABSTRACT: Background
The effect of fluid overload and variation on residual renal function (RRF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is controversial.Methods
Retrospective cohort study was designed. One-hundred and ninety PD patients with measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) ≧ 3 ml/min/1.73 m2 were recruit. Fluid status of every participant was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) every 3 months for 1 year. The cohort was divided into three hydration groups, namely persistent overhydration (PO) group, intermittent overhydration (IO) group and normal hydration (NH) group. Additionally, participants were also divided into high or low fluid variation groups. The decline rate of RRF and the event of anuria were followed up for 1 year. The association of fluid overloa
