Accuracy of a Newly-Introduced Oscillometric Device for the Estimation of Arterial Stiffness Indices in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: A Preliminary Validation Study

Vaios V., Georgianos P.I., Pikilidou M.I., Eleftheriadis T., Zarogiannis S., Papagianni A., Zebekakis P.E., Liakopoulos V. (2018)

The aim of the present study was to compare the aortic systolic blood pressure (aSBP), heart-rate-adjusted augmentation index (AIx75), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) obtained using the Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) ...

Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition

Eleftheriadis T., Pissas G., Antoniadi G., Nikolaou E., Golfinopoulos S., Liakopoulos V., Stefanidis I. (2019)

Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ...

Age dependence of brachial cuff-based ambulatory PWV in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis

Vaios V., Georgianos P.I., Vareta G., Divanis D., Dounousi E., Eleftheriadis T., Papagianni A., Zebekakis P.E., Liakopoulos V. (2022)

Background: The newly introduced device Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) combines brachial cuff oscillometry and pulse wave analysis, enabling the determination of pulse wave velocity (PWV) via complex mathematic ...

Alanyl-glutamine restores tight junction organization after disruption by a conventional peritoneal dialysis fluid

Bartosova M., Herzog R., Ridinger D., Levai E., Jenei H., Zhang C., González Mateo G.T., Marinovic I., Hackert T., Bestvater F., Hausmann M., Cabrera M.L., Kratochwill K., Zarogiannis S.G., Schmitt C.P. (2020)

Understanding and targeting the molecular basis of peritoneal solute and protein transport is essential to improve peritoneal dialysis (PD) efficacy and patient outcome. Supplementation of PD fluids (PDF) with alanyl-glutamine ...

APD or CAPD: one glove does not fit all

Roumeliotis A., Roumeliotis S., Leivaditis K., Salmas M., Eleftheriadis T., Liakopoulos V. (2021)

The use of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) in its various forms has increased over the past few years mainly in developed countries. This could be attributed to improved cycler design, apparent lifestyle benefits and ...

Clinic and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring for the Detection of Ambulatory Hypertension among Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

Vaios V., Georgianos P.I., Vareta G., Dounousi E., Dimitriadis C., Eleftheriadis T., Papagianni A., Zebekakis P.E., Liakopoulos V. (2019)

The International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis recommends that adequate blood pressure (BP) assessment among patients on peritoneal dialysis should at least include measurements performed once-weekly at home and at each ...

A comparative analysis of ambulatory BP profile and arterial stiffness between CAPD and APD

Vaios V., Georgianos P.I., Vareta G., Dounousi E., Eleftheriadis T., Papagianni A., Zebekakis P.E., Liakopoulos V. (2022)

Prior studies have associated automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) with less effective volume and blood pressure (BP) control as compared with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Our study aimed to compare the ...

Comparison of isotonic activation of cell volume regulation in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells and in kidney outer medullary collecting duct principal cells

Baturina G.S., Katkova L.E., Schmitt C.P., Solenov E.I., Zarogiannis S.G. (2021)

In disease states, mesothelial cells are exposed to variable osmotic conditions, with high osmotic stress exerted by peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids. They contain unphysiologically high concentrations of glucose and result ...

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis: Pathophysiology and current treatment options

Jagirdar R.M., Bozikas A., Zarogiannis S.G., Bartosova M., Schmitt C.P., Liakopoulos V. (2019)

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a life-threatening complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), which may even occur after patients have switched to hemodialysis (HD) or undergone kidney transplantation. ...

Epidemiology of Hypertension among Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis Using Standardized Office and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Recordings

Vareta G., Georgianos P.I., Vaios V., Sgouropoulou V., Roumeliotis S., Georgoulidou A., Dounousi E., Eleftheriadis T., Papagianni A., Balaskas E.V., Zebekakis P.E., Liakopoulos V. (2022)

Introduction: Prior studies conducted in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in the late 1990s provided considerably variable estimates of the prevalence and control of hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate ...
