Figure 2.
Levels of MPs in PD effluents as determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis (A) and MP activity assay (B).
Note. PD solution consisted of Dianeal 4.25%. A, Total MP counts (identified as particles of 0.1-1.0 µm by NTA), normalized to drain volumes are reported as the estimated total number of MPs in the PD cavity. B, MP procoagulant activity, normalized to drain volumes is shown in AU. MPs = microparticles; PD = peritoneal dialysis; NTA = nanoparticle tracking analysis; AU = arbitrary units.
*P < .05, **P < .01 vs initial MP concentration in effluent collected immediately after PD initiation, n = 5-8.
