UF insufficiency is a major limitation in PD efficiency and sustainability. Our study object to investigate the efficacy of intraperitoneal inflammation marker, IL-6 level as a predictor of UF insufficiency in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.
Stable prevalent CAPD patients were enrolled in this prospective study. IL-6 concentration in the overnight effluent was determined and expressed as the IL-6 appearance rate (IL-6 AR). Patients were divided into two groups according to the median of IL-6 AR and prospectively followed up until death, transfer to permanent HD, recovery of renal function, kidney transplantation, transfer to other centers, lost to follow-up or to the end of study (January 31, 2021). Factors associated with UF capacity as well as dialysate IL-6 AR were assessed by multivariable linear regression. Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association between dialysate IL-6 AR and UF insufficiency.
A total of 291 PD patients were enrolled, including 148 males (51%) with a mean age of 56.6 ± 14.1 years and a median PD duration of 33.4 (12.7-57.5) months. No correlation was found between dialysate IL-6 AR and UF capacity at baseline. PD duration was found positively correlated with baseline dialysate IL-6 AR, while 24h urine volume was negatively correlated with baseline dialysate IL-6 AR ( < 0.05). By the end of study, UF insufficiency was observed in 56 (19.2%) patients. Patients in the high IL-6 AR group showed a significantly inferior UF insufficiency-free survival when compared with their counterparts in the low IL-6 AR group ( = 0.001). In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, after adjusting for DM, previous peritonitis episode and 24h urine volume, higher baseline dialysate IL-6 AR (HR 3.639, 95% CI 1.776-7.456, = 0.002) were associated with an increased risk of UF insufficiency. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for baseline IL-6 AR to predict UF insufficiency was 0.663 (95% CI, 0.580-0.746; < 0.001).
Our study suggested that the dialysate IL-6 AR could be a potential predictor of UF insufficiency in patients undergoing PD.
超滤功能不全是腹膜透析效率和可持续性的主要限制因素。我们的研究旨在探讨腹腔内炎症标志物白细胞介素-6水平作为持续性非卧床腹膜透析(CAPD)患者超滤功能不全预测指标的有效性。
本前瞻性研究纳入了稳定的CAPD患者。测定过夜腹透流出液中的白细胞介素-6浓度,并表示为白细胞介素-6出现率(IL-6 AR)。根据IL-6 AR的中位数将患者分为两组,并进行前瞻性随访直至死亡、转为永久性血液透析、肾功能恢复、肾移植、转至其他中心、失访或研究结束(2021年1月31日)。通过多变量线性回归评估与超滤能力以及腹透液IL-6 AR相关的因素。采用Cox比例风险模型检验腹透液IL-6 AR与超滤功能不全之间的关联。
共纳入29名腹膜透析患者,其中男性148名(51%),平均年龄56.6±14.1岁,腹膜透析中位时间为33.4(12.7 - 57.5)个月。基线时腹透液IL-6 AR与超滤能力之间未发现相关性。腹膜透析时间与基线腹透液IL-6 AR呈正相关,而24小时尿量与基线腹透液IL-6 AR呈负相关(P<0.05)。到研究结束时,56名(19.2%)患者出现超滤功能不全。高IL-6 AR组患者的无超滤功能不全生存期明显低于低IL-6 AR组患者(P = 0.001)。在多变量Cox回归分析中,在调整糖尿病、既往腹膜炎发作和24小时尿量后,较高的基线腹透液IL-6 AR(HR 3.639,95%CI 1.776 - 7.456,P = 0.002)与超滤功能不全风险增加相关。基线IL-6 AR预测超滤功能不全的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.663(95%CI,0.580 - 0.746;P<0.0)。
我们的研究表明,腹透液IL-6 AR可能是腹膜透析患者超滤功能不全的潜在预测指标。
