Residual Renal Function in Peritoneal Dialysis After Renal Transplant Failure

out of the question to perform any randomized studies to evaluate the effect of declining RRF on endothelial function. In conclusion, this study showed that the decline in RRF in incident CAPD patients is associated with worsened endothelial dysfunction, while a stable RRF seems not to affect endothelial function significantly. This study not only provided new understanding of the association between RRF and cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients, but also highlighted the justification of protecting RRF in this population.
