Inflammatory processes in kidney disease
GROUP INFORMATION
Peritoneal dialysis (PD): Our main line of work is focused on the study of the mechanisms involved in PD-induced damage to the peritoneal membrane. We also studied the influence of various drugs (Paricalcitol, Tamoxifen, Rosiglitazone) on the prevention and repair of peritoneal membrane damage. In the coming years we will try to clarify which mechanisms are responsible for hyalinising vascular disease, the role of activated macrophages alternately in peritoneal damage, and analyse morphological and immunohistochemical findings in peritoneal biopsies of patients treated with conventional or biocompatible liquids.
A project under development is the design of a microchip for the early non-invasive diagnosis of the mesothelial-mesenchymal transition, using peritoneal effluent. Preliminary data have shown that peritoneal dialysis, in mice subjected to cerebral ischaemic damage, is able to decrease brain damage induced by high levels of glutamate. In collaboration with the Department of Neurology we are developing a clinical trial in patients to determine whether peritoneal dialysis can protect against cerebral ischaemic damage in patients in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke.
Nutrition in kidney disease: we have studied the importance of exercise in the proper nutrition and survival of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and the effect of physical training. To this end, we have analysed the introduction of new indices for the nutritional evaluation of renal patients and we intend to study the balance of myocytokines and their relationship with functionality and muscle strength.
Bone alterations and mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease (CKD): FGF23 is a molecule involved in phosphorus metabolism but it may be important as a marker of cardiovascular pathology and survival in kidney disease. We have designed a funded clinical trial to analyse the behaviour of FGF23 and PTH fragments in patients with chronic kidney disease treated with cinacalcet within the peritoneal dialysis programme.
