New-Onset Hyperglycemia in Nondiabetic Chinese Patients Started on Peritoneal Dialysis

New-onset hyperglycemia is common in patients without diabetes started on PD therapy. Contrary to common belief, obese patients do not appear to have a greater risk of hyperglycemia. Our results suggest that even mild hyperglycemia, with fasting plasma glucose level greater than 100 mg/dL (>5.6 mmol/L), is associated with worse survival in PD patients.
