Safety and utility of the alpha-replacer for treatment of intraluminal obstruction of peritoneal catheters by fibrin clots. Clin Exp Nephrol 2021; 25:418-427. [PMID: 33398602 DOI: 10.1007/s10157-020-02001-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Moncrief-Popovich technique of peritoneal catheter implantation has beneficial effects for peritoneal dialysis (PD) initiation. However, it might increase the risk of peritoneal catheter obstruction by fibrin clots, because the catheter is buried under the skin for several weeks to months. Effects of treatment of intraluminal occlusion of PD catheters with tissue plasminogen activator, recommended by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis guidelines/recommendations are reportedly limited. We investigated the effectiveness of the 'alpha-replacer' (JMS, Tokyo, Japan) for PD catheter obstruction. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a total of 193 patients in whom PD was initiated. PD catheters were embedded using the Moncrief-Popovich technique in 130 of these patients. We assessed the occurrence rates of peritoneal catheter obstruction and the utility of the alpha-replacer for treating intraluminal catheter occlusion by fibrin clots. RESULTS Catheter obstruction occurred in eight cases with embedded catheters, one due to omental wrapping and the others due to fibrin clots, in which median catheter burial durations were 477 (interquartile range [IQR], 226-510) days. All catheter obstructions due to fibrin clots were successfully treated with the alpha-replacer, leading to improved catheter drainage. The median amount of contrast agent used in catheterography was 10 (IQR 9-10) mL, which did not adversely affect residual renal function. There were no complications. No recurrence occurred during the observation period (median 111, IQR 55.5-141 months). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that treatment with the alpha-replacer is a safe and effective treatment option for intraluminal obstruction of PD catheters by fibrin clots.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Eosinophilia (eosinophil fraction of leukocytes >5%), an indicative parameter for bioincompatibility in various circumstances, is well established in hemodialysis. However, change in eosinophil count (EOC) and its association with death-censored technique failure among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients remain unclear. METHODS We compared eosinophils before and after PD initiation among 1,432 eligible continuous ambulatory PD patients regularly followed up in our PD center during 2007-2018. Risk factors of early-stage eosinophilia were examined by the logistic regression test. The relationship of early-stage eosinophilia and EOC with death-censored technique failure was examined using the Cox proportional hazards model for overall patients and for men and women separately. RESULTS After PD initiation, the EOC and percentage of patients with eosinophilia were significantly increased compared with baseline. Being male (odds ratio [OR]: 2.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55-3.31; p < 0.001) and higher EOC at baseline (100 cells/μL increase, OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.45-1.82; p < 0.001) were risk factors of early-stage eosinophilia after PD initiation. During follow-up, 204 death-censored technique failures were recorded. In fully adjusted models, each with 100 cells/μL increase in EOC, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of technique failure were 1.11 (95% CI: 1.03-1.20; p = 0.009) in the whole cohort, 1.29 (95% CI: 1.10-1.51; p = 0.002) in women, and 1.07 (95% CI: 0.97-1.17; p = 0.196) in men. Eosinophilia was significantly associated with the risk of technique failure for women (HR: 2.24; 95% CI: 1.07-4.70; p = 0.033), which was especially significant for women aged <55 years (HR: 7.61; 95% CI: 1.88-30.90; p = 0.005). CONCLUSION EOC was increased significantly after PD initiation, and increased numbers of eosinophils were associated with higher death-censored technique failure in PD patients, especially women.

Abstract
Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with functional and structural alterations of the peritoneal membrane. Inflammation may be the key moment, and, consequently, fibrosis may be the end result of chronic inflammatory reaction. The objective of the present study was to identify genes involved in peritoneal alterations during PD by comparing the transcriptome of peritoneal cells in patients with short- and long-term PD. Peritoneal effluent of the long dwell of patients with stable PD was centrifuged to obtain peritoneal cells. The gene expression profiles of peritoneal cells using microarray between patients with short- and long-term PD were compared. Based on microarray analysis, 31 genes for quantitative RT-PCR validation were chosen. A 4-h peritoneal equilibration test was performed on the day after the long dwell. Transport parameters and protein appearance rates were assessed. Genes involved in the immune system process, immune response, cell activation, and leukocyte and lymphocyte activation were found to be substantially upregulated in the long-term group. Quantitative RT-PCR validation showed higher expression of CD24, lymphocyte antigen 9 ( LY9), TNF factor receptor superfamily member 4 ( TNFRSF4), Ig associated-α ( CD79A), chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 ( CCR7), carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 ( CEACAM1), and IL-2 receptor-α ( IL2RA) in patients with long-term PD, with CD24 having the best discrimination ability between short- and long-term treatment. A relationship between CD24 expression and genes for collagen and matrix formation was shown. Activation of CD24 provoked by pseudohypoxia due to extremely high glucose concentrations in dialysis solutions might play the key role in the development of peritoneal membrane alterations.

Abstract
Introduction The use of embedded peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters is purported to offer numerous benefits over standard placement. However, the optimum period of embedment and the effect of prolonged embedment on subsequent catheter function remain unclear. Methods This retrospective observational study looked at adult patients undergoing embedded PD catheter insertion in a large tertiary referral centre in the UK. Possible predictors for catheter non-function at externalisation were investigated. These included patient factors (age, sex, diabetic status, body mass index, ethnicity, smoking status, previous surgery, estimated glomerular filtration rate), procedural factors (modality of surgery, concurrent surgical procedure), duration of catheter embedment and catheter damage at externalisation. Outcomes examined were proportion of catheters functioning after externalisation, futile placement rate, surgical reintervention rate, infectious complication rate and proportion of externalised catheters lost owing to malfunction. Results Sixty-six catheters were embedded and two-thirds (n=47, 63.6%) were externalised after a median embedment period of 39.4 weeks. Of these, 25 (53.2%) functioned on externalisation. Fourteen (63.6%) of the 22 non-functioning catheters were salvaged. The overall utilisation of PD was 34/47 (72.3%) and the futile placement rate was 12.1%. Over half of the externalised catheters (n=27, 57.4%) were lost directly as a result of catheter related complications, with a median survival time of 39.4 weeks. In adjusted analysis, increasing embedment duration was significantly predictive of catheter non-function at externalisation (adjusted odds ratio: 0.957, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.929-0.985, p=0.003) while subsequent catheter loss was highly dependent on catheter function at externalisation (hazard ratio: 0.258, 95% CI: 0.112-0.594, p=0.001). Conclusions Prolonged embedment of PD catheters is associated with a significantly higher likelihood of catheter dysfunction following externalisation, which is in turn associated with subsequent catheter loss. We have discontinued the use of this technique in our unit.

Abstract
Inflammation is one of the well-recognized nontraditional risk factors that contributes to the excessive cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Serum C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels are common surrogate markers used to measure inflammatory burden and predict adverse clinical outcomes in PD patients. Causes of inflammation are complex and can be categorized into factors related to a decrease in renal function and factors related to dialysis. They interact with each other and finally result in systemic and intraperitoneal inflammation. This review discusses the various causes and clinical implications of inflammation in PD patients. More importantly, potential therapeutic options that target the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large epidemiological studies have demonstrated an early survival advantage with the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to haemodialysis (HD). Chronic inflammation may contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We hypothesize that the initiation of HD in ESKD patients is associated with a greater inflammatory response compared with PD. AIMS To examine the effects of initiating HD and PD upon inflammation and CVD risk markers in ESKD patients. METHODS We performed a pilot prospective study on 75 predialysis CKD stage-5 subjects comparing the effects of HD and PD upon high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin(IL)-12, IL-18 and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Study visits were conducted 3 - 6 months before (baseline) and after (follow-up) initiation of dialysis RESULTS: Thirty-nine and 36 patients were initiated on HD and PD respectively. HD patients were older than PD patients (65.1 ± 2.1 vs 57.7 ± 2.7 years; p = 0.03) but had similar baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), hsCRP, IL-12, IL-18, and PWV. At follow-up, HD patients had significantly increased hsCRP levels [5.2(3.7, 7.3) vs 1.7(1.0, 2.8)g/L; p < 0.001] compared to PD. Follow-up blood pressure, IL-12, IL-18, and PWV were similar between groups. A significant association remained between hsCRP and HD after adjustment for age, previous CVD, and residual urine output. CONCLUSION The initiation of HD was associated with significantly increased hsCRP compared to PD. Further study is required to determine the plausibility of inflammation as a potential underlying contributor to the observed early mortality difference between dialysis modalities.

Abstract
Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the major complications occurring in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients as a result of injury. Peritoneal fibrosis is characterized by submesothelial thickening and fibrosis which is associated with a decline in peritoneal membrane function. The myofibroblast has been identified as the key player involved in the development and progression of peritoneal fibrosis. Activation of the myofibroblast is correlated with expansion of the extracellular matrix and changes in peritoneal membrane integrity. Over the years, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been accepted as the predominant source of the myofibroblast. Peritoneal mesothelial cells have been described to undergo EMT in response to injury. Several animal and in vitro studies support the role of EMT in peritoneal fibrosis; however, emerging evidence from genetic fate-mapping studies has demonstrated that myofibroblasts may be arising from resident fibroblasts and pericytes/perivascular fibroblasts. In this review, we will discuss hypotheses currently surrounding the origin of the myofibroblast and highlight the experimental systems predominantly being used to investigate this.

Abstract
Background Technique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to fibrosis and angiogenesis is complicated by peritonitis. Staphylococcus aureus infection is one of the most common causes of peritonitis in PD. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan, syndecan-1 (CD138), was reported to regulate fibrosis, angiogenesis, inflammation and S. aureus infection. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of syndecan-1 on S. aureus infection and histopathology in a PD model. Results Syndecan-1-/- and wild type mice were dialyzed for 4 weeks and infected intraperitoneally with S. aureus. Tissues were collected after 4 h for histomorphometric analysis. Intravital microscopy was used to observe leukocyte recruitment and to quantify syndecan-1 in the parietal peritoneum microcirculation. The dialyzed syndecan-1-/- mice were more susceptible to S. aureus infection than undialyzed syndecan-1-/- controls and wild type animals. However, peritoneal fibrosis and neovascularization due to PD did not differ between syndecan-1-/- and wild type mice. Intravital microscopy showed that in S. aureus infection, syndecan-1 was removed from the subendothelial layer of peritoneal venules but syndecan-1 deficiency did not affect leukocyte recruitment. Conclusions This study indicates that, while syndecan-1 is important for providing a barrier to acute S. aureus infection in PD, it does not affect peritoneal fibrosis and angiogenesis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED ♦ BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine the effects of a conventional dialysis solution and peritoneal catheter on leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in the microcirculation of the parietal peritoneum in a subacute peritoneal dialysis (PD) mouse model. ♦ METHODS An intraperitoneal (IP) catheter with a subcutaneous injection port was implanted into mice and, after a 2-week healing period, the animals were injected daily for 6 weeks with a 2.5% dextrose solution. Intravital microscopy (IVM) of the parietal peritoneum microcirculation was performed 4 hours after the last injection of the dialysis solution. Leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions were quantified and compared with catheterized controls without dialysis treatment and naïve mice. ♦ RESULTS The number of rolling and extravascular leukocytes along with peritoneal fibrosis and neovascularization were significantly increased in the catheterized animals compared with naïve mice but did not significantly differ between the 2 groups of catheterized animals with sham injections or dialysis solution treatment. ♦ CONCLUSION The peritoneal catheter implant increased leukocyte rolling and extravasation, peritoneal fibrosis and vascularization in the parietal peritoneum independently from the dialysis solution treatment.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has attained increased relevance as continuous renal replacement therapy over the past years. During this treatment, the peritoneum functions as dialysis membrane to eliminate diffusible waste products from the blood-stream. Success and efficacy of this treatment is dependent on the integrity of the peritoneal membrane. Chronic inflammatory conditions within the peritoneal cavity coincide with elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines leading to the impairment of tissue integrity. High glucose concentrations and glucose metabolites in PD solutions contribute to structural and functional reorganization processes of the peritoneal membrane during long-term PD. The subsequent loss of ultrafiltration is causal for the treatment failure over time. It was shown that peritoneal mesothelial cells are functionally connected via Nanotubes (NTs) and that a correlation of NT-occurrence and defined pathophysiological conditions exists. Additionally, an important participation of NTs during inflammatory reactions was shown. Here, we will summarize recent developments of NT-related research and provide new insights into NT-mediated cellular interactions under physiological as well as pathophysiological conditions.

Background The heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-1 (CD138) was shown to regulate inflammatory responses by binding chemokines and cytokines and interacting with adhesion molecules, thereby modulating leukocyte trafficking to tissues. The objectives of this study were to examine the expression of syndecan-1 and its role in leukocyte recruitment and chemokine presentation in the microcirculation underlying the parietal peritoneum. Methods Wild-type BALB/c and syndecan-1 null mice were stimulated with an intraperitoneal injection of Staphylococcus aureus LTA, Escherichia coli LPS or TNFα and the microcirculation of the parietal peritoneum was examined by intravital microscopy after 4 hours. Fluorescence confocal microscopy was used to examine syndecan-1 expression in the peritoneal microcirculation using fluorescent antibodies. Blocking antibodies to adhesion molecules were used to examine the role of these molecules in leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in response to LTA. To determine whether syndecan-1 co-localizes with chemokines in vivo, fluorescent antibodies to syndecan-1 were co-injected intravenously with anti-MIP-2 (CXCL2), anti-KC (CXCL1) or anti-MCP-1 (CCL2). Results and Conclusion Syndecan-1 was localized to the subendothelial region of peritoneal venules and the mesothelial layer. Leukocyte rolling was significantly decreased with LPS treatment while LTA and TNFα significantly increased leukocyte adhesion compared with saline control. Leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions were not different in syndecan-1 null mice. Antibody blockade of β2 integrin (CD18), ICAM-1 (CD54) and VCAM-1 (CD106) did not decrease leukocyte adhesion in response to LTA challenge while blockade of P-selectin (CD62P) abrogated leukocyte rolling. Lastly, MIP-2 expression in the peritoneal venules was not dependent on syndecan-1 in vivo. Our data suggest that syndecan-1 is expressed in the parietal peritoneum microvasculature but does not regulate leukocyte recruitment and is not necessary for the presentation of the chemokine MIP-2 in this tissue.

Janus kinase signaling activation mediates peritoneal inflammation and injury in vitro and in vivo in response to dialysate. Kidney Int 2014; 86:1187-96. [PMID: 25007168 DOI: 10.1038/ki.2014.209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2014] [Revised: 04/17/2014] [Accepted: 04/24/2014] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Peritoneal membrane pathology limits long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). Here, we tested whether JAK/STAT signaling is implicated and if its attenuation might be salutary. In cultured mesothelial cells, PD fluid activated, and the pan-JAK inhibitor P6 reduced, phospho-STAT1 and phospho-STAT3, periostin secretion, and cleaved caspase-3. Ex vivo, JAK was phosphorylated in PD effluent cells from long-term but not new PD patients. MCP-1 and periostin were increased in PD effluent in long term compared with new patients. In rats, twice daily, PD fluid infusion induced phospho-JAK, mesothelial cell hyperplasia, inflammation, fibrosis, and hypervascularity after 10 days of exposure to PD fluid. Concomitant instillation of a JAK1/2 inhibitor virtually completely attenuated these changes. Thus, our studies directly implicate JAK/STAT signaling in the mediation of peritoneal membrane pathology as a consequence of PD.

Abstract
Inflammation at both systemic and local intraperitoneal levels commonly affects peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Interest in inflammatory markers as targets of therapeutic intervention has been considerable as they are recognised as predictors of poor clinical outcomes. However, prior to embarking on strategies to reduce inflammatory burden, it is of paramount importance to define the underlying processes that drive the chronic active inflammatory status. The present review aims to comprehensively describe clinical causes of inflammation in PD patients to which potential future strategies may be targeted.

Abstract
Long-term peritoneal dialysis can lead to morphological and functional changes in the peritoneum. Although the range of morphological alterations is known for the peritoneal dialysis population as a whole, these changes will not occur in every patient in the same sequence and to the same extent. Longitudinal studies are therefore required to help identify which patients might develop the changes. Although longitudinal studies using peritoneal biopsies are not possible, analyses of peritoneal effluent biomarkers that represent morphological alterations could provide insight. Longitudinal studies on peritoneal transport have been performed, but follow-up has often been too short and an insufficient number of parameters have been investigated. This Review will firstly describe peritoneal morphology and structure and will then focus on peritoneal effluent biomarkers and their changes over time. Net ultrafiltration will also be discussed together with the transport of small solutes. Data on the peritoneal transport of serum proteins show that serum protein levels do not increase to the same extent as levels of small solutes with long-term peritoneal dialysis. Early alterations in peritoneal transport must be distinguished from alterations that only develop with long-term peritoneal dialysis. Early alterations are related to vasoactive mediators, whereas later alterations are related to neoangiogenesis and fibrosis. Modern peritoneal dialysis should focus on the early detection of long-term membrane alterations by biomarkers--such as cancer antigen 125, interleukin-6 and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1--and the improved assessment of peritoneal transport.

Abstract
Background: Abdominal CT imaging has defined characteristics of two pathological entities specific to peritoneal dialysis patients. Both are associated with serious peritoneal complications. One is comprised of ascites accompanied by septation and loculated fluid pockets as a complication of bacterial peritonitis. The other is the syndrome of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. We present the evolution of a single, thick-walled fluid collection as a consequence of relapsing Pseudomonas aeruginosa peritonitis. The entity had distinctive features differing from either of the two previously described entities, and to our knowledge, has not been described previously. Our patient’s radiological evolution resembled the formation of a pleural or peritoneal “rind.” Conclusion: Peritonitis, as a result of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, may lead to “rind” formation as described with empyemas and is distinct from previously described intra-abdominal pathologies in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Icodextrin, a glucose polymer with a polydispersity [ratio of weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to number-average molecular weight] of approximately 2.6, has been shown, compared with glucose, to provide superior ultrafiltration (UF) efficiency [ratio of UF to carbohydrate (CHO) absorbed] when used as an osmotic agent during a long-dwell peritoneal dialysis exchange. In an experimental rabbit model, we evaluated the effect of Mw on the UF and UF efficiency of glucose polymers with low polydispersity. METHODS A crossover trial in female New Zealand White rabbits (2.20 - 2.65 kg) with surgically implanted peritoneal catheters evaluated two glucose polymers at nominal concentrations of 7.5 g/dL: a 6K polymer (Mw: 6.4 kDa; polydispersity: 2.3) and a 19K polymer (Mw: 18.8 kDa; polydispersity: 2.0). Rabbits were randomized to receive either the 6K (n = 11) or the 19K (n = 12) solution during the first exchange (40 mL/kg body weight). The alternative solution was evaluated in a second exchange 3 days later. During each 4-hour dwell, the UF and total glucose polymer CHO absorbed were determined. RESULTS The UF was higher for the 6K (p < 0.0001) than for the 19K polymer (mean ± standard deviation: 73.6 ± 30.8 mL vs. 43.0 ± 20.2 mL), as was the amount of CHO absorbed (42.5% ± 9.8% vs. 35.7% ± 11.0%, p = 0.021). In spite of higher CHO absorption, an approximately 50% higher (p = 0.029) UF efficiency was achieved with the 6K polymer (28.3 ± 18.8 mL/g) than with the 19K polymer (19.0 ± 11.3 mL/g). The results were independent of the order of the experimental exchanges. CONCLUSIONS Glucose polymers with low polydispersity are effective osmotic agents in a rabbit model. The low-Mw polymer was more effective at generating UF and had a higher UF efficiency, but those results came at the expense of the polymer being more readily absorbed from the peritoneal cavity.

Abstract
This review is focused on minimizing complications and avoiding harm in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Issues related to planning for PD are covered first, with emphasis on PD versus hemodialysis outcomes. Catheter types and insertion techniques are described next, including relevant recommendations by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis. A brief review of both noninfectious and infectious complications follows, with emphasis on cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Finally, recommendations for preventing PD-related infections are provided. In conclusion, with proper catheter insertion technique, good training, and attention to detail during the tenure in PD, excellent outcomes can be obtained in a well-informed motivated patient.

Abstract
A well-known role of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs), the resident cells of the peritoneal cavity, is the generation of an immune response during peritonitis by activation of T-cells via antigen presentation. Recent findings have shown that intercellular nanotubes (NTs) mediate functional connectivity between various cell types including immune cells - such as T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells or macrophages - by facilitating a spectrum of long range cell-cell interactions. Although of medical interest, the relevance of NT-related findings for human medical conditions and treatment, e.g. in relation to inflammatory processes, remains elusive, particularly due to a lack of appropriate in vivo data. Here, we show for the first time that primary cultures of patient derived HPMCs are functionally connected via membranous nanotubes. NT formation appears to be actin cytoskeleton dependent, mediated by the action of filopodia. Importantly, significant variances in NT numbers between different donors as a consequence of pathophysiological alterations were observable. Furthermore, we show that TNF-α induces nanotube formation and demonstrate a strong correlation of NT connectivity in accordance with the cellular cholesterol level and distribution, pointing to a complex involvement of NTs in inflammatory processes with potential impact for clinical treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether ex vivo mesothelial cells found in peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluents were representative of the in vivo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in peritoneal membrane. METHODS Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into three groups: Group C (control), no PD; Group D, infused with 4.25% Dianeal and Group P, infused with 4.25% Physioneal. PD infusions (25 mL) were given twice daily for 8 weeks. The in vivo study included morphometric analyses performed on the peritoneal membranes of tissue specimens obtained at the end of the study. The ex vivo study included peritoneal mesothelial cells collected from PD effluent and cultured to confluence. Cells were scored with light microscopy. RESULTS PD for 8 weeks induced significant EMT. The in vivo expression of EMT markers (α-smooth muscle actin:E-cadherin ratio, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and Snail) was higher in Group D than in Group P. However, ex vivo EMT marker expression was similar in cells derived from Groups D and P. A significant correlation was observed among in vivo EMT markers. Moreover, the ex vivo cell score increased with time on PD. However, changes in the ex vivo cell score did not correlated with changes in the in vivo EMT marker expression. Furthermore, we found no correlation between ex vivo and in vivo cells in the expression of EMT markers. CONCLUSIONS In this animal study, ex vivo findings did not reflect the in vivo EMT changes in the peritoneum. It may be necessary to improve the current methodology for ex vivo studies.

Abstract
Residual renal function and the integrity of the peritoneal membrane contribute to morbidity and mortality among patients treated with peritoneal dialysis. Glucose and its degradation products likely contribute to the deterioration of the remnant kidney and damage to the peritoneum. Benfotiamine decreases glucose-induced tissue damage, suggesting the potential for benefit in peritoneal dialysis. Here, in a model of peritoneal dialysis in uremic rats, treatment with benfotiamine decreased peritoneal fibrosis, markers of inflammation, and neovascularization, resulting in improved characteristics of peritoneal transport. Furthermore, rats treated with benfotiamine exhibited lower expression of advanced glycation endproducts and their receptor in the peritoneum and the kidney, reduced glomerular and tubulointerstitial damage, and less albuminuria. Increased activity of transketolase in tissue and blood contributed to the protective effects of benfotiamine. In primary human peritoneal mesothelial cells, the addition of benfotiamine led to enhanced transketolase activity and decreased expression of advanced glycation endproducts and their receptor. Taken together, these data suggest that benfotiamine protects the peritoneal membrane and remnant kidney in a rat model of peritoneal dialysis and uremia.

Abstract
To address the hypothesis that sterile intraperitoneal (ip) catheters alone promote a progressive foreign body reaction (FBR), silicone catheters were surgically implanted in C57BL mice. Controls (CON) underwent sham operations. After 1-5 wk (E1-E5 for catheter-bearing mice), catheters were recovered, and the adherent cell layer (ACL) was separated and cultured to demonstrate sterility. Transperitoneal transport experiments were performed to determine the mass transfer coefficients of mannitol (MTCM) and albumin (MTCA) and the osmotic filtration flux (Josm). After euthanasia, tissue samples were analyzed for submesothelial thickness, angiogenesis, and cytokine immunohistochemistry (IHC). Progressive increases with time were observed in submesothelial thickness (μm: CON, 18.8±12.3; E1, 46.1±20.0; E2, 72.0±17.9; E4, 97.3±20.0; E5, 131.7±10.3; P<0.003), angiogenesis (no. of vessels/mm of peritoneum: CON, 10.7±9.4; E1, 15.4±15.6; E2, 27.0±14.0; E4, 39.8±15.7; E5, 90.1±8.1; P<0.0003), MTCA (6.5±1.5×10(-5) cm/min, mean CON; 18.0±1.1×10(-5) cm/min, mean E1-E5, P<0.0001), Josm (0.0013±0.0001 cm/min, mean CON; 0.0017±0.0001 cm/min, mean E1-E5, P<0.01). No significant differences were found for MTCM. IHC demonstrated strong staining for all treated animals and correlated with the ACL. This mouse model demonstrates that ip silicone catheters result in progressive FBR, altering the submesothelial anatomy and transperitoneal transport, and will form the basis for mechanistic studies in genetically-altered animals.
