Abstract

Abstract


This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of long-term persistent peritoneal fluid eoslnophllla on the peritoneal membrane as reflected by a change in dialysis function, This was a prospective study undertaken at a community-based peritoneal dialysis unit, where thirty-one patients were enrolled over a 9- month period. Chronic, long-term peritoneal fluid eosinophilia was noted in 12/31(38.7%) patients. Significant differences were not noted between values of creatinine clearance, DIP urea and Kt/V, compared to their baseline values, This study shows that long-term peritoneal fluid eosinophilia does not significantly affect peritoneal membrane function in patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis
