Summary

Sterile dialysis solutions damage the peritoneal barrier, causing cell changes and fibrosis. This leads to impaired transport function and ultrafiltration failure in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Sterile dialysis solutions are known to alter the peritoneal barrier.
  • Mesothelial cells undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition within a year of dialysis.
  • Long-term peritoneal dialysis (over 6 years) leads to fibrosis and neoangiogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on peritoneal barrier alteration due to dialysis solutions.
  • To discuss mechanisms of inflammation and cellular changes.
  • To highlight current knowledge and research gaps.

Main Methods:

  • Review of animal and human studies.
  • Analysis of structural changes in the peritoneal membrane.
  • Correlation of structural changes with transport function and ultrafiltration failure.

Main Results:

  • Dialysis solutions induce mesothelial cell transition and sub-mesothelial fibrosis.
  • Structural changes correlate with impaired peritoneal transport and ultrafiltration failure.
  • Inflammatory mechanisms involve peroxide production, acidic solutions, glucose degradation, and cytokine cascades.

Conclusions:

  • Peritoneal dialysis solutions cause significant structural and functional alterations to the peritoneal barrier.
  • Understanding inflammatory mechanisms is crucial for developing protective strategies.
  • Further research is needed to address remaining questions in peritoneal dialysis-related complications.
