This study aimed to identify fibrosis biomarkers via bioinformatics, assess immune cell correlations, and validate diagnostic utility in clinical\/animal models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We analyzed the GSE125498 peritoneal fluid transcriptome to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment, protein interaction networks, and pathway analyses were performed. Three machine learning algorithms screened diagnostic markers, validated by ROC curves and nomogram modeling. Immune infiltration patterns were correlated with biomarkers. Clinical validation included SOCS-1\/TGF-\u03b21 quantification in 86 PD patients\u2019 effluent and a CKD rat fibrosis model to assess SOCS-1\/TGF-\u03b2\/Smad pathway interactions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Four hub genes (PIM2, HSH2D, MYO3B, SOCS1; AUC = 0.914) were identified as PD fibrosis biomarkers. Monocyte infiltration increased significantly in long-term PD cohorts and inversely correlated with all biomarkers. SOCS1 exhibited positive associations with CD4+\/CD8+ T cells and M1 macrophages, but negative correlations with resting mast cells and monocytes. Clinically, SOCS-1 levels in PD effluent showed non-linear temporal dynamics. Rat models confirmed SOCS-1 overexpression in fibrotic peritoneum and its functional link to TGF-\u03b2\/Smad signaling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>SOCS-1 emerges as a novel biomarker for PD-related peritoneal fibrosis, with monocyte-mediated mechanisms playing a critical role. Animal studies implicate SOCS-1 in TGF-\u03b2\/Smad-driven fibrogenesis.
