ABSTRACT: Objective
Current treatment options for patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease before dialysis (predialysis CKD-5) are determined by individual circumstances, economic factors, and the doctor's advice. This study aimed to explore the plasma metabolic traits of patients with predialysis CKD-5 compared with maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, to learn more about the impact of the dialysis process on the blood environment.Methods
Our study enrolled 31 predialysis CKD-5 patients, 31 HD patients, and 30 PD patients. Metabolite profiling was performed using a targeted metabolomics platform by applying an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method, and the subsequent comparisons among all three groups were ma
