Objective: Heat sterilization of glucose peritoneal
dialysis (PD) fluid generates reactive carbonyl compounds (RCOs), which have
been implicated in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on
peritoneal proteins, with an attendant deterioration of peritoneal
permeability in PD patients. To reduce their levels in PD fluid, we had
previously devised beads coupled with RCO-trapping agents. The hazards linked
to the diffusion of RCO-trapping compounds in the systemic circulation are
avoided. Hydrazine-epoxy beads proved the most effective. Still, the amount
needed to trap all RCOs remained relatively large.
Methods: We developed a novel agent linking a powerful
RCO-trapping AGE inhibitor, pyrazolinone-polyethyleneimine, with cellulose
beads (PPCBs). We tested its effectiveness to lower RCOs and AGE
formation.
Results: Mixed with glucose PD fluid, PPCBs markedly
lowered RCOs (
-dicarbonyls and aldehydes) and inhibited the generation
of pentosidine, an AGE, to levels similar to those of filter-sterilized PD
fluid. Their effectiveness is more than one order of magnitude above those of
previously developed beads. The PPCBs markedly improved PD fluid
biocompatibility. Incubation of 1 L commercial glucose PD fluid at 25°C
for 24 hours with 10 or 30 g of wet PPCBs reduced RCO content by 75% - 90% and
100% respectively, without altering the pH or glucose and electrolyte contents
of the PD fluid.
Conclusions: We developed a high-affinity adsorption bead
to reduce the toxic RCO content and AGE formation potential (carbonyl stress)
of PD fluid.
