Abstract
Troponin T is specifically qualified as a predictor of circulatory overload in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Given the good standardization and the high reproducibility of the troponin T assay, this measurement may prove useful in the clinical management of PD patients. It still remains to be tested whether clinical policies incorporating troponin T may actually produce better outcomes in PD patients.
