Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular death in dialysis patients. Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were thought to be related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in dialysis.
To determine the relationship between FGF-23, IL-6 and LVH in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, serum FGF-23 and IL-6 levels as well as standard laboratory parameters were assessed in 62 CAPD patients and 30 healthy controls. LVH was determined by echocardiography in dialysis patients.
Serum FGF-23 and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in CAPD patients than in healthy controls, whereas both were higher in patients with LVH than in patients without LVH. FGF-23 was found to be positively associated with left ventricle mass index (LVMI) and serum phosphate. IL-6 level was positively associated with LVMI and negatively correlated with serum albumin and hemoglobin. Serum FGF-23 level was positively correlated with IL-6 level.
FGF-23 and IL-6 are independent risk factors for LVH in CAPD patients and both collaborated in causing LVH in CAPD.
左心室肥厚(LVH)是透析患者心血管死亡的主要危险因素。成纤维细胞生长因子 23(FGF-23)和白细胞介素 6(IL-6)被认为与透析患者的心血管疾病(CVD)有关。
为了确定成纤维细胞生长因子 23(FGF-23)、白细胞介素 6(IL-6)与持续非卧床腹膜透析(CAPD)患者左心室肥厚(LVH)之间的关系,评估了 62 例 CAPD 患者和 30 例健康对照者的血清 FGF-23 和 IL-6 水平以及标准实验室参数。在透析患者中通过超声心动图确定 LVH。
与健康对照组相比,CAPD 患者的血清 FGF-23 和 IL-6 水平显著升高,而 LVH 患者的 FGF-23 和 IL-6 水平均高于无 LVH 患者。FGF-23 与左心室质量指数(LVMI)和血清磷酸盐呈正相关。IL-6 水平与 LVMI 呈正相关,与血清白蛋白和血红蛋白呈负相关。血清 FGF-23 水平与 IL-6 水平呈正相关。
FGF-23 和 IL-6 是 CAPD 患者 LVH 的独立危险因素,两者共同导致 CAPD 患者 LVH。
