Abstract

BACKGROUND: Risk factors for peritoneal fibrosis and mesothelial cell (MsC) injury in CAPD are infections and bioincompatibility of the dialysate, including high glucose concentrations. To study a potential link between dialysate and glucose toxicity in MsC, we investigated the expression of facilitative glucose transporters (GLUT), which could contribute to glucose toxicity. METHODS: After ...
