PD Outcomes Predicted by the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index

An index based on low-cost blood tests may help predict mortality, peritonitis, and technical failure on PD. Among 354 CAPD patients stratified into TyG tertiles, the highest tertile experienced significantly higher all-cause and cardiovascular death over a median of 72 months of follow-up than the lowest tertile.

New Clinical Practice Guidelines for Exercise on PD

The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis and the Global Renal Exercise Network have teamed up to grade and review the literature and clinical experience to help people on PD stay physically active safely. With sparse quality evidence available, the new guidelines are largely opinion based, and cover timing of exercise relative to PD (i.e., empty or full); impact of exercise on mental health, weight, frailty, etc.; exercise nutrition, and potential adverse PD outcomes.
