Since higher values of triglycerides may further accelerate cardiovascular disease (2), they are justifiably concerned about the "increasing number of children and adults maintained on chronic peritoneal dialysis."We were unable, however, to confirm their findings. We have recently examined the fasting serum triglyceride levels in a group of 21 patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis for 6 to 65 months (average, 25.6 months) and 15 patients on chronic hemodialysis for 1 to 73 months (average,...References1.
