The Relationship between Malnutrition, Atherosclerosis and Procalcitonin among The Patients on Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
Abstract
Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between
inflammation and both malnutrition and atherosclerosis among the
patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
Materials and Methods: Total of 74 (27 women and 47 men)
consecutive hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients
were enrolled in the study. Patients with known previous malign
neoplasms and chronic inflammatory diseases were excluded.
Patients were groupped according to the presence of atherosclerosis
and malnutrition. The levels of inflammation markers among groups
were analyzed statistically.
Results: The mean of ages of HD and PD patients were 59.3±11.3
and 50.7±14.9 years respectively. The levels of procalcitonin (PRC)
were higher among atherosclerotic and malnourished dialysis
patients (p<0.001 and p=0.036, respectively). Considering the
patients on hemodialysis, there were significant correlation between
the inflammatory parameters CRP and PRC, and the development of
malnutrition. However this significant correlation was not observed
among the patients on CAPD despite they had increased levels of
CRP and PRC (p<0.001, r=0.62 and p=0.362, r=-0.16, respectively).
Conclusion: Malnutrition, atherosclerosis and inflammation are all
closely related among the patients on dialysis therapy. Combination
of PRC and CRP is assumed to become a reliable marker of
inflammation in dialysis patients.
