- Abstract
Background. It has been speculated that increased levels of circulating or intraperitoneal pro‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6, and pro‐angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may contribute to high peritoneal small‐solute transport rate (PSTR) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. In this study we evaluated possible relationships between plasma and dialysate IL‐6 and VEGF levels and PSTR.
