A randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effects of icodextrin on left ventricular mass index in peritoneal dialysis
Abstract Left ventricular hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Because icodextrin has a greater ultrafiltration power compared with glucose-based solutions for long dwell, it could improve left ventricular mass by reducing fluid overload....
