High Glucose Concentrations in Peritoneal Dialysate Are Associated with All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Abstract The effect of high peritoneal dialysate glucose concentration (PDGC) on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of high PDGC on all-cause and CVD mortality in continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) patients. The study enrolled 716 patients newly initiated on CAPD therapy between January 2006 and December 2010. We allocated the patients to low (
