Abstract:Effects of ramipril and vitamin E on atherosclerosis: the study to evaluate carotid ultrasound changes in patients treated with ramipril and vitamin E (SECURE).
“…Chronic exposure to PD solutions is associated with impairment of peritoneal host defense. Alterations of cellular components within the peritoneal cavity led to disturbances in the release of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators [6]. Lowgrade, chronic inflammation and peritoneal injury progressively determine mesothelial cells loss and fibrosis.…”

Imunohistochemistry can be used in studying histological alterations of peritoneal tissue in ESRD and PD patients. This method may indicate possible problems in filtration and secretion processes in this tissue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
