Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 Associated with Congestive Heart Failure in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study
Figure 6
Longitudinal changes over time of dialysate glucose concentration and ultrafiltration volume. Participants were categorized into two groups according to baseline serum MMP7 levels (, ng/ml; , ng/ml). (a) Participants with higher serum MMP7 levels were trended to be treated with higher dialysate glucose concentration. (b) The ultrafiltration volume appeared to be similar between groups with different MMP7 levels. MMP7: matrix metalloproteinase-7; PD: peritoneal dialysis; SE: standard error.
