Measures to preserve membrane integrity a) Biocompatible PD solutions b) Replace glucose (icodextrin, amino-acid) c) Prevent peritoneal fibrosis by RAAS blockade 5. Encapsulating peritonitis

6 Factors leading to injury Evident injury to the peritoneum Peritonitis recurrent inflammation, fibrosis Hemoperitoneum Mechanical injury Other slowly-acting factors Glucose GDPs/AGEs Low ph Inflammation: (TGF-β, IL-1, FGF2, TNF-α) Angiotensin II

12 Outline 1. Structure of the peritoneal membrane 2. Mechanisms of peritoneal injury 3. Signs and main types of membrane dysfunction 4. Measures to preserve membrane integrity a) Biocompatible PD solutions b) Replace glucose (icodextrin, amino-acid) c) Prevent peritoneal fibrosis by RAAS blockade 5. Encapsulating peritonitis

13 Low effective peritoneal surface area Signs of membrane dysfuncion Ultrafiltration failure Signs of ultrafiltration failure In the absence of patient non-adherence Stable residual renal function No mechanical disruption of the peritoneal membrane Inadequate dialysis dose Background Large effective peritoneal surface area Increased absorption of glucose Increased lymphatic reabsorption rate

14 Large Effective Peritoneal Surface Area Increased number of capillaries and lymphatic vessels Increased surface area and/ or permeability lead to increased glucose absorption and More rapid dissipation of the osmolar gradient Diagnosis Drain volume Low < 400 ml net UF over 4 hr with 4.25% dextrose (3.86% glucose) Clearence High: D/P creatinine > 0.81

15 Outline 1. Structure of the peritoneal membrane 2. Mechanisms of peritoneal injury 3. Signs and main types of membrane dysfunction 4. Measures to preserve membrane integrity a) Biocompatible PD solutions b) Replace glucose (icodextrin, amino-acid) c) Prevent peritoneal fibrosis by RAAS blockade 5. Encapsulating peritonitis

16 Measures to slow down deterioration and to reconcstitute peritoneal integrity Evident injury to the peritoneum Peritonitis recurrent inflammation, fibrosis Hemoperitoneum Mechanical injury Other slowly-acting factors Glucose AGEs/GDPs Low ph Inflammation: (TGF-β, IL-1, FGF2, TNF-α) Angiotensin II Avoid direct injury Exit site, tunnel infection Peritonitis Avoid chronic aphysiologic insults and fibrosis Lower glucose concentration Lower GDP and AGE-s Avoid or reduce lactate burden Replace glucose by other osmotic agents ICODEXTRIN, Aminoacids RAAS blockade

17 Neutral ph, Low GDP Bicarbonate PD Solutions Conventional glucose-based PD fluid High concentration glucose degradation products (GDPs) - Secondary to heat sterilization - Buffered by lactate at low ph 5-6 Bioincompatible 2 compartment system more neutral ph Low ph compartment contains glucose - Reduces GDPs during sterilization Bicarbonate or lactate/bicarbonate compartment Avoids calcium precipitation No convincing evidence of beneficial effect on the peritoneal membrane Perl et al. Kid Int 79:814, 2011

32 Causes of Membrane Failure Large effective peritoneal surface area Increased absorption of glucose Low effective peritoneal surface area Simpe fibrosis Encapsulating peritonitis Severe decrease in surface area and/or permeability leads to restricted transport of fluid and solutes

33 Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by bowel obstruction (intermittent, recurrent, or persistent) caused by a wide range of adhesions of a diffusely hypertrophied peritoneum. Kawaguchi Y et al. Perit Dial Int 20:Suppl 4; 3, 2000

34 Factors Implicated in the Pathogenesis Factors Related to PD Duration of PD Prior peritonitis High transport status Bioincompatibility (glucose, hypertonicity, low ph) Acetate- based dialysate Plasticizers Chlorhexidine Withdrawal of PD

40 Summary The peritoneal membrane is a dynamically changing organic structure PD is a non-physiological procedure, however, damage inflicted to the peritoneum can be minimized by Preventing bacterial inflammation Minimizing the effect of bioincompatible fluids GDP, AGE, lactate Slowing or halting the fibrotic procedures by the use of RAAS inhibition

41 Case 2 10 years old girl Medical history (from an other institute) Tubulopathy of unknown origin, discovered at the age of 2 months, metabolic crisis wasting of Na, K, NaHCO3, secondary hypophosphatemic rickets Supportive treatment CRF at the age of 4

42

43 Case 2 Poor familial background RRT by CVL Left jugular vein occluded after ~1 year Right jugular vein occluded after ~1 year Left femoral vein occluded after 0.5 year Transplanted Graft failure after ~ 3 years

44 Case 2 What to do next? a) Try to make a cimino fistula b) Try to insert a new central line c) Peritoneal dialysis CAPD was initiated Average fast transporter Still some RRF (ultrafiltration, without effective solute removal) Repeated peritonitis episodes Decreasing solute removal Decreasing ultrafiltration Episodes of overhydration

45 Case 2 What next? PET test Fast transporter P/D urea 0.97 How to change PD prescription Actually: CAPD, 4 exchanges/day (3 daytime, 1 nighttime) APD 8 rapid changes during the night + 1 daytime dwell then 2 daytime dwells What next? Re-transplantation?

48 Therapeutic strategies

49 Evidence Cochrane database analysis 36 Studies - Adult and kids - RCT or quasi RCT Pts - Poor design - Allocation bias - Lost to Follow up 0-85% - Based on the best available evidence, the use of these 'biocompatible' PD solutions resulted in clinically relevant benefits without added risks of harm.
