Valvular calcification and left ventricular modifying in peritoneal dialysis patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Long-term peritoneal exposure to high glucose in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution may potentiate the development of peritoneal fibrosis in PD patients. The most important factor leading to peritoneal fibrosis may be injury of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC). Little is known about senescence of...
