Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a life-saving renal replacement therapy for more than 200,000 patients worldwide. However, PD causes major morbidity and mortality due to infectious complications and peritoneal membrane failure. From a holistic view, this damage must be regarded as imbalance between PD-related cellular insults and counteracting stress responses. Research at the Medical University of Vienna provided clear evidence for dysfunctional cellular stress responses as a novel pathomechanism in PD. Interventions with cytoprotective PD fluids (PDF) restored peritoneal cellular stress responses, and has been developed to first-use-in-man.

The “Christian Doppler Laboratory for Molecular Stress Research in Peritoneal Dialysis (CDL-MSRPD)” aims to identify molecular stress signatures as surrogate markers of clinical outcome in PD, and to characterize effects and molecular mechanisms of mode of action of PD-protec™, a novel cytoprotective PDF with added alanyl-glutamine, developed to counteract dysfunctional cellular stress responses in PD.

Two of six Travel Grants for Best Submitted Abstracts to the European Proteomics Conference in Newcastle go to researchers of the CDL-MSRPD, Juan Manuel Sacnun and Rebecca Herzog.

 
 

As part of the Girls Day 2023 the CDL-MSRPD performed different experiments with eight highly interested high school girls from 13 to 17 years of age. Rebecca Herzog and her team gave the girls a great insight in what it means to receive samples..

 
 

Fabian Eibensteiner was invited to present the results from his work at the CDL-MSRPD in a CyTOF technology meeting organised by Standard BioTools and the Medical University of Vienna.
