Association of inflammatory cytokines with mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.
BioMedicine 2017 March
AIMS: Previous study on association between pro-inflammatory cytokines and mortality in PD population is limited. We aimed to investigate here.
METHODS: Total 50 patients who underwent incident PD were enrolled in this study. We measured the titers of pro-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin-18(IL-18), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß). Study outcomes were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-related mortality, and infection-caused mortality. Cox-regression model was used.
RESULTS: In this 7 year prospective study, IL-18 ≥ 804.3pg/ml, IL-6 ≥ 3.92 pg/ml, IL-1ß ≥ 0.86pg/ml, age ≥ 50 years-old, and existence of diabetes could be used as individual significant predictors for mortality in PD patients. Higher titers of IL-6 were associated with lower averaging albumin levels within 1st year of PD. Increasing numbers of these risk markers of mortality was associated with decreasing survival advantages (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Age ≥ 50 years-old, diabetes, and inflammatory cytokines profiles at the start of PD therapy could predict for 7-year mortality in PD population.
