Dialysis: Systemic IL-6 levels predict survival after peritoneal dialysis

Roberto Pecoits-Filho et al. Nat Rev Nephrol. 2013 Dec.

Abstract

In a recent study, Lambie and colleagues suggest that systemic and local intraperitoneal inflammation, evidenced by elevated levels of interleukin-6, are independent processes and have different consequences for patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Prevention of inflammation in these patients will, therefore, require different therapeutic approaches.
