title: Long-term survival and its relationship to membrane transport status in peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: We evaluated peritoneal membrane transport status (high, high-average, low-average, and low) of 35 patients on persistent peritoneal dialysis (PD) for 5-16 years. We noted that most of these patients (n = 21) had low-average transport by dialysate-to-plasma creatinine (D/PCr) ratio.
