Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Our study addresses the following research question: What is the role of obesity in modulating inflammation and innate immune function, as well as the overall responsiveness of innate immune cells (such as macrophages, neutrophils, and other peripheral leukocytes) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis? The investigators hypothesize that obesity will lead to increased inflammation in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
