Serum levels of soluble intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), are elevated in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, the levels of these cell adhesion molecules in patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) are unclear.
A total of 112 HD patients were included and PAD was diagnosed using the ankle-brachial index and Doppler ultrasound. Serum levels of sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 and MCP-1 were assayed using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.
Out of 106 HD patients, 31 (27.7%) were diagnosed with PAD. After adjusting for risk factors, higher serum levels of sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 were associated with PAD in HD patients, with an odds ratio of 5.3 (95% CI 3.3-65.5) and 2.7 (95% CI 1.2-21.8) respectively. Using sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 for diagnosis of PAD in HD patients, sVCAM-1 had a sensitivity of 72.4% and specificity of 62.3% for sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 had a sensitivity of 89.3% and a specificity of 40%. MCP-1 was not associated with PAD in HD patients. In addition, the fistula of HD patients with PAD had a lower A-V access flow.
sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 was associated with higher risk of PAD in HD patients. Moreover, HD patients with PAD had a lower blood flow and lower A-V access flow. Our results showed that sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 may be used as screening markers for PAD in HD patients.
可溶性细胞间黏附分子-1(sICAM-1)、可溶性血管细胞黏附分子-1(sVCAM-1)和单核细胞趋化蛋白 1(MCP-1)的血清水平在周围动脉疾病(PAD)患者中升高。然而,接受血液透析(HD)的患者这些细胞黏附分子的水平尚不清楚。
共纳入 112 例 HD 患者,通过踝肱指数和多普勒超声诊断 PAD。采用酶联免疫吸附法测定 sICAM-1、sVCAM-1 和 MCP-1 的血清水平。
在 106 例 HD 患者中,31 例(27.7%)诊断为 PAD。调整危险因素后,HD 患者血清 sVCAM-1 和 sICAM-1 水平与 PAD 相关,比值比分别为 5.3(95%可信区间 3.3-65.5)和 2.7(95%可信区间 1.2-21.8)。使用 sVCAM-1 和 sICAM-1 诊断 HD 患者 PAD,sVCAM-1 的敏感性为 72.4%,特异性为 62.3%;sICAM-1 的敏感性为 89.3%,特异性为 40%。MCP-1 与 HD 患者 PAD 无关。此外,PAD 的 HD 患者瘘管的 A-V 通路流量较低。
sVCAM-1 和 sICAM-1 与 HD 患者 PAD 的风险增加相关。此外,PAD 的 HD 患者的血流量和 A-V 通路流量较低。我们的结果表明,sVCAM-1 和 sICAM-1 可能可作为 HD 患者 PAD 的筛查标志物。
