Abstract excerpt
Peritoneal fibrosis resulting from long-term peritoneal dialysis is a major cause of failure of peritoneal ultrafiltration function and main reason of dropout from peritoneal dialysis.

Recently, the association between histone acetylation and kinds of fibrosis including liver, lung and...
