Abstract
- Hemodialysis adequately controls serum uric acid (UA) levels, making UA-lowering drugs unnecessary; scant data are available for peritoneal dialysis (PD). We analyzed blood, 24 h urine and dialysis fluid from twenty patients under PD, to assess UA levels and clearances, and factors associated with better performance and maintenance of target levels (<6mg/dL). Median serum UA was 5.4 mg/dL (p25–75 4.4–5.8), mainly achieved through peritoneal clearance (3.0 mL/min/1.73m2, 71.2% of total UA clearance); 75% of participants was on UA targets. Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis showed highest UA clearance and target achievements. These findings may be of interest for end-stage renal patients with gout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
