Plain-language summary

Title: Comparison of Oxidative Stress and Preservation of Residual Kidney Function Between Incremental and Standard Peritoneal Dialysis in Incident Patients at the Regional General Hospital No. 58 and HGZ/UMF 21 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) in León, Guanajuato BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) employs hypertonic dextrose-based solutions to remove toxins and excess fluids. This exposure promotes mitochondrial overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggers inflammation, and may accelerate the decline of residual kidney function (RKF), leading to complications such as peritonitis, peritoneal fibrosis, and technique failure. Although more biocompatible solutions are available, their high cost and limited accessibility restrict their use in our setting. Incremental peritoneal dialysis (IPD), in contrast to standard peritoneal dialysis (SPD)-which typically involves four daily exchanges with full-dose dialysis-uses reduced dialysis doses tailored to RKF, thereby decreasing glucose exposure. The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of IPD versus SPD on oxidative stress, inflammation, and the preservation of residual kidney function in incident peritoneal dialysis patients at the Regional General Hospital No. 58 in León, Guanajuato. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective, longitudinal, single-center, open-label, randomized clinical trial will be conducted. Incident peritoneal dialysis patients at the Regional General Hospital No. 58 and Gneral Hospital of Zone Numbre 21 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) who meet the inclusion criteria and provide informed consent will be randomly assigned to either the standard or incremental peritoneal dialysis group. Acute-phase reactants will be measured at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Oxidative stress will be assessed via baseline and end-of-study malondialdehyde levels. Dialysis and urine Kt/V will be evaluated betwen 6 weeks and 3 moths and 6, 9, and 12 months. Appropriate statistical analyses will be performed thereafter.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
