TFF3 inhibits apoptosis, promotes migration and facilitates restoration against injury. In our cross-sectional study, TFF3 levels in peritoneal fluids of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients were measured and associated factors were investigated. MATERIAL and METHODS: Peritoneal fluid after a 12-hour dwell and concurrent serum samples of 48 chronic PD patients were collected. Serum and peritoneal fluid TFF3 levels were measured by ELISA. The SPSS15.0 package was used for statistical analysis of database files. RESULTS: The study included 48 patients (men/women; 24/24, mean age: 51.6∓13.9 years) with a median PD vintage of 43 months (3-200). Median effluent TFF3 level was 17.07 ng/ml (2.38-99.4). There was no relationship between the number of peritonitis episodes and TFF3 levels. There was a positive correlation between effluent TFF3 levels and PD vintage (r=0.349, p<0.015). There was also a positive correlation between effluent TFF3 and serum PTH. Median serum TFF3 was 1.56 ng/ml (0.7911.05). There was no association between serum TFF3 levels and clinical features. After multivariate analysis, the only association was between effluent TFF3 and PD vintage. CONCLUSION: Effluent TFF3 levels increasing with dialysis vintage may be related to local production or peritoneal transport.","PeriodicalId":42328,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Nephrology Dialysis and Transplantation Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43538645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cause of hemolysis should be found for the prevention of further hemolysis and deaths. The checklist for the cause of hemolysis requires every detail of dialysis process to be reviewed, though clinical experience and the literature are still insufficient to guide medical professionals in solving the problem. The aim of this article was to increase awareness regarding the failure of the current evidence to solve the problem of hemolysis in hemodialysis. MATERIAL and METHODS: Clinical, procedural and technical data regarding 11 episodes of hemolysis in 9 patients on 5 machines from two hemodialysis centers were investigated. The cause for hemolysis was investigated step by step based on the available evidence and instructions of the respective hemodialysis machines. RESULTS: Both the frequent and rare causes of hemolysis in hemodialysis such as blood tubing sets, dialysis membranes, needles, water system and machine contamination, chloramines, high temperature dialysis, and hypo-osmolar dialysis were excluded. Technical investigations of the hemodialysis machines by the authorized services were also of no help. Lastly, replacement of the 5 suspected hemodialysis machines resulted in permanent cessation of the hemolysis episodes. CONCLUSION: The current evidence for the causes of hemolysis in hemodialysis may be insufficient, and replacement of the suspected hemodialysis machines may be the last resort.","PeriodicalId":42328,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Nephrology Dialysis and Transplantation Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46908035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
