| Abstract | Alternative to nephrotoxic calcineurin inhibitors regimens are feasible in renal transplantation. Sirolimus is an effective immunosuppressive drug with less drug-induced nephrotoxicity. Enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium provides a safety and efficacy alternative to mycophenolate mofetil. In peritoneal effluent, cancer antigen 125 (Ca 125) is a mesothelial cell marker and of in vivo biocompatibility of the new dialysis solutions. Longterm PD and peritoneal sclerosis are associated with a low number of mesothelial cells and a low concentration of dialysate Ca 125. Exposure to glucose and degradation products (GDPs) is important in the genesis of mesothelial damage. Short results of the more biocompatible solutions are promising (increasing of Ca 125). In the future, exposure to glucose can be reduced by using combinations of various osmotic agents, each in a low concentration (glycerol and amino acid solution). | |
