The efficacy of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is closely related to the status of the peritoneum. Long-term PD leads to structural and functional changes in the peritoneum and affects dialysis adequacy. Also high-glucose content of dialysate accelerates peritoneal fibrosis. It is reported that ultrasonography (USG) reflects parietal peritoneal membrane thickness and PD duration is related with peritoneal thickness. This study aimed to evaluate peritoneal thickness with USG in PD pa...
