Peritoneal expression of SGLT-2, GLUT1 and GLUT3 in peritoneal dialysis patients

Introduction: In peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, the peritoneal membrane is affected by glucose-based solutions used as peritoneal dialysate fluids. This exposure leads to changes of the membrane which may eventually culminate in fibrosis and method failure. In vitro or animal studies demonstrate...
