| Abstract | Background Taste disorder is a common problem in patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Specifically, salty taste disorder is associated with excess salt intake. Many factors affect taste activity; however, data focused on peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are limited. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of the gustatory threshold for salty taste and to clarify its relevant contributing factors in PD patients. Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we enrolled 22 PD patients who were assessed for their detection and recognition thresholds for salty taste using salt-impregnated test strips. We investigated the distribution of the detection and recognition thresholds and analyzed their relevant factors. Results In PD patients, detection and recognition threshold for salty taste were both high. Especially, most of the PD patients could not recognize salty taste even at the highest concentration level. The high detection threshold was associated with young age, long duration of PD, high serum phosphorus, and high transferrin saturation. The high recognition threshold was associated with long duration of PD, high serum phosphorus, high creatinine, high serum β2 microglobulin, low renal Kt/V, and high peritoneal Kt/V. Partition analysis showed that high serum phosphorus was related with high detection threshold and low renal Kt/V was related with high recognition threshold. Conclusions This study demonstrated that the gustatory threshold for salty taste was increased in PD patients. In addition, high detection threshold was related with high serum phosphorus and high recognition threshold was related to low renal Kt/V. Based on these findings, we consider that it is important to assess the gustatory threshold for salty taste in PD patients, particularly those with high serum P and low renal Kt/V. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
