Is the Systemic Microvascular Endothelial Glycocalyx in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients Related to Peritoneal Transport

Conclusions: No relationships are present between the systemic endothelial glycocalyx, which was assessed by SDF, and peritoneal transport. In nonfast transporters, a reduction in blood vessel density caused by endothelial glycocalyx alterations or a thicker permeable phase of the glycocalyx delaying the access of small solutes to the small pores may be important.Nephron Clin Pract
