1 The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of VEGF and TGF-beta1 in peritoneal effluents of patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis who are being treated with glucose-containing dialysis solutions in relation to parameters of peritoneal transport. Glucose vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
2 In conclusion, we found evidence for the local production of both VEGF and TGF-beta1 in the peritoneal membrane of patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis with glucose-based dialysate solutions. Glucose vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
3 The analogy with VEGF in diabetic retinopathy suggests a pathogenetic role of high dialysate glucose concentrations in the development of these alterations in the peritoneal membrane. Glucose vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
