Natural History of Mineral Metabolism Parameters and Protein-bound Toxins in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Complication of Peritoneal Dialysis Clinical Trial

Official title: Natural History of Biochemical Parameters of Mineral Metabolism and Protein-bound Uremic Retention Molecules in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: a Longitudinal Observational Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aims of this study are

1. To evaluate the natural history of plasma concentrations and renal and peritoneal clearances of small water-soluble uremic retention molecules (URM), 'middle molecules', and protein bound URM in incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

2. To evaluate the natural history and determinants of the generation rate of URM originating from bacterial protein fermentation in PD patients.

3. To evaluate the natural history of biochemical parameters of mineral metabolism in incident PD patients.
