Inflammation, dialysis adequacy, and peritoneal transport rate (PTR) influence clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The present study examined the relationship of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, to PTR and residual renal function (RRF) in PD patients. We recorded the baseline dialysate-to-plasma creatinine (D/P Cr) of 210 PD patients starting in 1986. In a subgroup of 42 patients, we serially measured high-sensitivity CRP levels and.dialysis adequacy, including weekly Kt/V urea and creatinine clearance (CCr), starting in May 2003. The patients were followed to January 2006. Mean age was 53 +/- 16 (standard deviation) years, and 70% of the patients were African American. Enrollment mean and median CRP levels were 13.53 +/- 20.8 (range: 0.2-95.8) and 7.15 mg/L respectively. Mean weekly residual CCr and Kt/V during follow-up were 7.11 +/- 15.47 L/1.73 m2 and 0.14 +/- 0.30 respectively. The mean enrollment D/P Cr was 0.649 +/- 0.12 (range: 0.429-0.954). Patients with CRP > 10 mg/L had significantly lower weekly residual CCr (0.59 L/1.73 m2 vs. 10.1 L/1.73 m2, p = 0.01), residual Kt/V (0.01 vs. 0.20, p = 0.01), total CCr (56 L/1.73 m2 vs. 62 L/1.73 m2, p= 0.047), and total Kt/V (2.09 vs. 2.49, p = 0.001) than did those with CRP < or = 10 mg/L. Levels of CRP correlated negatively with weekly residual CCr (r = -0.42, p = 0.006), residual Kt/V (r = -0.43, p = 0.006), and total Kt/V (r = -0.44, p = 0.004). Enrollment D/P Cr was inversely correlated with serum albumin (r = -0.24, p = 0.001) and directly correlated with peritoneal protein loss (r = 0.34, p = 0.028). Higher enrollment D/P Cr was associated with lower observed cumulative survival (Kaplan-Meier) in PD patients. However D/P Cr was not an independent predictor of long-term survival in PD patients. Using multivariate Cox regression analysis, and including D/P Cr and residual Kt/V in the model, enrollment CRP was an independent predictor of mortality (relative risk = 1.036, p = 0.018). We conclude that elevated CRP is associated with lower RRF As a predictor of mortality, CRP may be better than RRF and D/P Cr.
炎症、透析充分性和腹膜转运率(PTR)会影响腹膜透析(PD)患者的临床结局。本研究探讨了炎症标志物C反应蛋白(CRP)与PD患者PTR及残余肾功能(RRF)之间的关系。我们记录了自1986年起开始治疗的210例PD患者的基线透析液与血浆肌酐比值(D/P Cr)。在一个42例患者的亚组中,自2003年5月起我们连续测量了高敏CRP水平以及透析充分性指标,包括每周的尿素Kt/V和肌酐清除率(CCr)。对患者随访至2006年1月。患者平均年龄为53±16(标准差)岁,70%为非裔美国人。入组时CRP的均值和中位数分别为13.53±20.8(范围:0.2 - 95.8)和7.15 mg/L。随访期间每周残余CCr和Kt/V的均值分别为7.11±15.47 L/1.73 m²和0.14±0.30。入组时D/P Cr的均值为0.649±0.12(范围:0.429 - 0.954)。CRP>10 mg/L的患者每周残余CCr(0.59 L/1.73 m² 对 10.1 L/1.73 m²,p = 0.01)、残余Kt/V(0.01对0.20,p = 0.01)、总CCr(56 L/1.73 m² 对 62 L/1.73 m²,p = 0.047)以及总Kt/V(2.09对2.49,p = 0.001)均显著低于CRP≤10 mg/L的患者。CRP水平与每周残余CCr(r = -0.42,p = 0.006)、残余Kt/V(r = -0.43,p = 0.006)以及总Kt/V(r = -0.44,p = 0.004)呈负相关。入组时D/P Cr与血清白蛋白呈负相关(r = -0.24,p = 0.001),与腹膜蛋白丢失呈正相关(r = 0.34,p = 0.028)。较高的入组D/P Cr与PD患者较低的观察到的累积生存率(Kaplan - Meier法)相关。然而,D/P Cr并非PD患者长期生存的独立预测因素。使用多因素Cox回归分析,并在模型中纳入D/P Cr和残余Kt/V,入组时的CRP是死亡率的独立预测因素(相对风险 = 1.036,p = 0.018)。我们得出结论,CRP升高与较低的RRF相关。作为死亡率的预测指标,CRP可能优于RRF和D/P Cr。
