Bioincompatible peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs) cause pathological changes in the peritoneal membrane, related to membrane dysfunction and progressive peritoneal fibrosis. We investigated the effects of Pro-His-Ser-Arg-Asn (PHSRN) peptide, one of the fibronectin cell-binding domains that activates integrins and reinforces wound healing, on peritoneal remodelling in a rat peritoneal injury model undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
