The impact of serum ferritin on prognosis in patients starting hemodialysis (HD) is not fully elucidated.
A prospective cohort of 946 incident HD patients from 26 dialysis centers in Korea was selected for this study. Patients were divided into tertiles according to natural logarithm (Ln) ferritin concentrations.
During a median follow-up of 39 months, 88 (9.3%) patients died. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis demonstrated that Ln ferritin was independently associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality risk (hazard ratio (HR) 1.604, 95% CI 1.040-2.474, p = 0.033), infection-related mortality risk (HR 1.916, 95% CI 1.056-3.476, p = 0.032), and all-cause mortality risk (HR 1.547, 95% CI 1.156-2.069, p = 0.003).
Serum ferritin levels at the time of HD commencement were a significant independent risk factor for mortality regardless of systemic inflammation and nutritional status. Therefore, elevated serum ferritin levels could be an effective indicator for prognosis.
血清铁蛋白对开始血液透析(HD)患者预后的影响尚未完全阐明。
本研究选取了来自韩国26个透析中心的946例新发HD患者的前瞻性队列。根据自然对数(Ln)铁蛋白浓度将患者分为三分位数。
在中位随访39个月期间,88例(9.3%)患者死亡。多变量Cox比例风险分析表明,Ln铁蛋白与心血管死亡风险增加(风险比(HR)1.604,95%置信区间1.040 - 2.474,p = 0.033)、感染相关死亡风险(HR 1.916,95%置信区间1.056 - 3.476,p = 0.032)和全因死亡风险(HR 1.547,95%置信区间1.156 - 2.069,p = 0.003)独立相关。
HD开始时的血清铁蛋白水平是一个显著的独立死亡风险因素,与全身炎症和营养状况无关。因此,血清铁蛋白水平升高可能是预后的有效指标。
