Peritoneal Dialysis versus Conventional Hemodialysis and Serum TNF-α, CRP, and IL-6 Levels in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Article A Not peer reviewed Meta-analysis or large trial

Key takeaways

This review combined data from 22 trials involving 1,838 people on dialysis. It found that peritoneal dialysis was linked to lower levels of body inflammation markers than standard dialysis. However, the evidence is very weak and uncertain. More large studies are needed to be sure.
