As compared with hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis is cheaper, survival rate is similar, residual kidney function is better preserved, fluid and solutes are removed more gradually and continuously leading to minimal impact on hemodynamics, and risks related to a vascular access are avoided. Those features of peritoneal dialysis are useful to treat refractory congestive heart failure patients with fluid overload. It was shown that in such patients, peritoneal dialysis improves functional status and quality of life, reduces hospitalization rate, and may decrease mortality rate. High levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines and fibrosis markers, among other factors, play an important part in congestive heart failure pathogenesis and progression. We demonstrated that those levels decreased following peritoneal dialysis treatment in refractory congestive heart failure patients. The exact mechanism of beneficial effect of peritoneal dialysis in refractory congestive heart failure is currently unknown. Maintenance of fluid balance, leading to resetting of neurohumoral activation towards a more physiological condition, reduced remodeling due to the decrease in mechanical pressure on the heart, decreased inflammatory cytokine levels and oxidative stress, and a potential impact on uremic toxins could play a role in this regard. In this paper, we describe the unique characteristics of the peritoneal membrane, principals of peritoneal dialysis and its role in heart failure patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/membranes12030318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]],"date-time":"2022-03-11T12:58:36Z","timestamp":1647003516000},"page":"318","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["The Peritoneal Membrane\u2014A Potential Mediator of Fibrosis and Inflammation among Heart Failure Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Margarita","family":"Kunin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sheba Medical Center, Institute of Nephrology and Hypertension, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel-Hashomer, Tel Aviv-Yafo 52621, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pazit","family":"Beckerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sheba Medical Center, Institute of Nephrology and Hypertension, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel-Hashomer, Tel Aviv-Yafo 52621, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2020.05.032","article-title":"Peritoneal dialysis use and practice patterns: An international survey study","volume":"77","author":"Cho","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am.
