Abstract

Objective Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients have an increased cardiovascular burden. In this study, we aimed to compare certain PD solutions (Physioneal (R) and Dianeal (R)) in terms of the ambulatory blood pressure, echocardiographic parameters (ECHO), carotid atherosclerosis, endothelial function and serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level.
