Sažetak
Peritoneal dialysis is a popular alternative to hemodialysis for the treatment of patients with chronic renal failure. Despite technological develope, acute peritonitis remains the most frequent complication of peritoneal dialysis. Literature data suggest that the relaese of nitric oxide (NO) by endothelial NO synthase contributes to functional alterations of the peritoneal membrane induced by acute peritonitis. Experimental animal studies show that induced peritonitis was charecterized by structural changes in the peritoneal membrane (mononuclear cells infiltrate, vascular proliferation) and increased permeability for urea and glucose, as well as increased protein loss in dialysate (1). The aim was to evaluate the functional characteristics of peritoneum, determining plasma cholinesterase (PChE, 3.1.1.8) transfer degree from blood to dialysis fluid in peritonitis-free patients and in patients with peritonitis.
