A) Sections from the peritoneum of patients on short-term and long-term PD were stained with picrosirius red, and the stain was quantified. Bar is 200 ¦ÌM. * indicates p < 0.05 (t-test). Peritoneal sections from B) short-term and C) long-term PD patients were stained for the indicated markers. All images are representative of biopsy samples from at least 3 different patients of each type. Arrows indicate cells with significant overlap in staining with CD45RO and ¦Á-SMA. Bar is 10 ¦Ìm.
