What is Evaluation of Peritoneal Transport and Membrane Status in Peritoneal Dialysis: Focus on Incident Fast Transporters about?
__Background/Aim:__ The determinants of baseline fast solute transport are still unclear. We prospectively investigated the relationship of peritoneal solute transport with markers of inflammation, angiogenesis, and membrane status, with a focus on fast transporters. __Methods:__ Seventy-one incident peritoneal dialysis patients were assessed with baseline and annual peritoneal equilibration tests, using a 3.86% glucose dialysis solution. Residual renal function and markers of inflammation, including systemic and intraperitoneal interleukin-6 (IL-6), effluent cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) appearance rates (ARs), were investigated. The time course of the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine (D/P creatinine ratio) and its relationship with the biomarkers were investigated by a mixed linear model. __Results:__ Incident fast/fast average transporters had a similar age, diabetes prevalence, and serum and effluent IL-6 levels, but significantly higher levels of CA-125 and VEGF ARs than the slow/slow average group; the D/P creatinine ratio was not correlated with systemic IL-6, but was correlated with effluent CA-125 AR (r = 0.45, p < 0.0001
