Abstract
Continuous glucose exposure contributes to severe ultrafiltration failure in peritoneal dialysis. In their study, Wang etal. describe a mechanistic pathway involving direct activation by glucose of mesothelial cell protein kinase C α that, when blocked, or absent inamouse knockout model, prevents fibrosis and the associated reduction in ultrafiltration. Interestingly, this pathway involves the3main mechanisms of membrane injury (inflammation, neoangiogenesis, and fibrogenesis), offering a potential target fortherapeutic intervention.
