Excessive Weight Gain during the First Year of Peritoneal Dialysis Is Associated with Inflammation, Diabetes Mellitus, and a Rapid Decrease in Residual Renal Function
Significant weight gain is a potential problem in most patients starting peritoneal dialysis (PD); however, few studies have explored the clinical effects of increased body weight (BW) in these patients. We evaluated the effect of excess weight gain during the first year after PD on residual renal f...

Summary: | Significant weight gain is a potential problem in most patients starting peritoneal dialysis (PD); however, few studies have explored the clinical effects of increased body weight (BW) in these patients. We evaluated the effect of excess weight gain during the first year after PD on residual renal function (RRF).
A total of 148 incident PD patients were analyzed in a longitudinal observational study. The mean duration of follow-up was 23.8 months. RRF was measured at baseline (within 1 month of starting PD) and thereafter at 6-month intervals for 2-3 years or until loss of RRF. BW was measured at the time of RRF measurement, and excess weight gain was defined as a BW increase over the median value (3.0%).
The median 1-year increase in BW was 2.3kg (IQR, 1.01-4.58) or 3.0% (IQR, 1.13-5.31). The mean slope of RRF decline was -0.068 ± 0.053 mL/min/month/1.73m2, and RRF loss developed in 48 patients at a mean follow-up time of 19.4 ± 6.8 months. Patients with BW increases > 3.0% showed significantly increased RRF decline rate compared to those without excess weight gain (p |
