Results of the peritoneal equilibrium test

Variable	Initiation	6 weeks of PD
Body weight (g)
C group	259.8 ± 5.3	412.4 ± 13.7*
PD group	260.0 ± 2.2	394.8 ± 4.7*
PD + TR group	253.9 ± 3.3	399.3 ± 9.4*
Glucose mass transfer/body weight (mg/g)
C group	1.71 ± 0.02	1.71 ± 0.24
PD group	1.77 ± 0.05	1.94 ± 0.09*
PD + TR group	1.78 ± 0.03	1.89 ± 0.34

Statistical significance was determined with the Kruskal–Wallis test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error.

C, control; PD, peritoneal dialysis; PD + TR, peritoneal dialysis group with tranilast cotreatment.

^*P < 0.05 compared with the baseline value in the same group.
