Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal membrane permeability is of major importance for adequate dialysis and fluid balance in peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. The peritoneal capillary endothelium plays a key role in peritoneal transport. Nitric oxide derived from endothelial cells is related to the maintenance of vascular permeability. We investigated the relationship between the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ENOS) gene...
