Background: Systemic inflammation is known to be
associated with patient survival in peritoneal dialysis
(PD). Moreover,
chronic inflammation is closely associated with
malnutrition. A association between systemic inflammation
and
local peritoneal inflammation has yet to be confirmed. The
aim of this study was to investigate the associations
between local peritoneal inflammation, systemic
inflammation, malnutrition, and all-cause mortality in PD
patients.
Methods: 169 PD patients were prospectively followed up
from April 2008 to June 2011. At baseline, clinical and
biochemical parameters such as age, sex, presence of
diabetes, dialysate monocyte chemoattractant protein-1
(dMCP-
1), serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),
serum albumin, and dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio
(D/Pcr)
were assessed. All-cause deaths and technique failures
were evaluated during the study period. Based on the
median level of dMCP-1, patients were classified as lower
dMCP-1 group (n=85) and higher dMCP-1 group (n=84).
Results: In higher dMCP-1 group, age, presence of
diabetes, serum hs-CRP levels, and D/Pcr were higher,
whereas
serum albumin levels were significantly lower than lower
dMCP-1 group. dMCP-1 levels were positively correlated
with age, duration of peritoneal dialysis, D/Pcr, HbA1c,
and serum hs-CRP, whereas inversely correlated with
serum
albumin levels. During the study period, 23 patients died.
Time to patient survival was significantly longer in lower
dMCP-1 group compared to higher dMCP-1 group
(p=0.03). Cox proportional hazards multivariate analysis
revealed
that age, D/Pcr, and dMCP-1 were independent
predictors of all-cause mortality.
Conclusion: dMCP-1 level is significantly correlated with
markers of systemic inflammation and malnutrition and a
significant association with all-cause mortality in PD
patients. These findings suggest that local peritoneal
inflammation could be helpful to predict the mortality in PD
patients. |
