Oxalate Balance in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Potential Role of Dialysis-related Peritonitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little evidence is available on oxalate balance in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

Patients and methods

We performed a cross-sectional observational pilot study with 62 adult PD patients to document oxalate balance and explore its association with PD-related peritonitis. Plasma oxalate concentration, levels of oxalate excretion in 24-h urine, and peritoneal dialysis effluent were evaluated. The peritoneal oxalate transport status and renal and peritoneal oxalate clearances were calculated according to the PD-related peritonitis history.

Results

PD patients with a history of peritonitis had a statistically significantly lower peritoneal oxalate clearance, daily peritoneal oxalate excretion, and overall oxalate removal rate compared with the peritonitis-fr
