Serious hyperkalemia was reported in 10% of chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients that could lead to arrhythmia and death. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are well accepted for cardio-protective benefits. The relationship between renin-angiotensin system blockade (RASB) and hyperkalemia in chronic HD patients remains controversial. The aim of this study was to find the relationship between RASB and hyperkalemia in these patients.
Pre-dialysis serum potassium, clinical factors, and drugs were evaluated in 200 chronic HD patients in one HD center. Hyperkalemia was defined as serum K >or= 5.3 meq/L. Finally, multivariate analysis with logistic regression was used to evaluate the risk of hyperkalemia by RASB and other factors.
In 200 patients, the mean K was 4.93 +/- 0.79 meq/L, and 70 (35%) patients had hyperkalemia. Fifty-eight (29%) patients were prescribed with RASB. Seven variables--non-DM, longer HD duration, lower dialysate calcium, lower serum glucose, higher serum iPTH, not using RASB, and not using furosemide--were more frequent in hyperkalemia group. In logistic regression analysis, RASB was associated with decreased odds for hyperkalemia (OR 0.262, p = 0.001 in model A; OR 0.205, p = 0.001 in model B). In addition, furosemide was associated with decreased odds for hyperkalemia (OR 0.068, p = 0.022 in model B).
RASB is not associated with hyperkalemia in chronic HD patients.
在 10%的慢性血液透析(HD)患者中报告了严重的高钾血症,这可能导致心律失常和死亡。血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACE-I)和血管紧张素 II 受体阻滞剂(ARB)因其心脏保护益处而被广泛接受。肾素-血管紧张素系统阻断(RASB)与慢性 HD 患者高钾血症之间的关系仍存在争议。本研究旨在探讨这些患者中 RASB 与高钾血症之间的关系。
在一个 HD 中心的 200 例慢性 HD 患者中评估了透析前血清钾、临床因素和药物。高钾血症定义为血清 K >or= 5.3 meq/L。最后,采用多元逻辑回归分析评估 RASB 和其他因素对高钾血症的风险。
在 200 例患者中,平均 K 为 4.93 +/- 0.79 meq/L,70(35%)例患者发生高钾血症。58(29%)例患者服用了 RASB。在高钾血症组中,有 7 个变量——非糖尿病、HD 时间更长、透析液钙更低、血清葡萄糖更低、血清 iPTH 更高、未使用 RASB 和未使用呋塞米——更为常见。在逻辑回归分析中,RASB 与高钾血症的几率降低相关(模型 A 中 OR 0.262,p = 0.001;模型 B 中 OR 0.205,p = 0.001)。此外,呋塞米与高钾血症的几率降低相关(模型 B 中 OR 0.068,p = 0.022)。
RASB 与慢性 HD 患者的高钾血症无关。
