Elevated leptin and decreased adiponectin independently predict the post-thrombotic syndrome in obese and non-obese patients.
Scientific Reports 2018 May 3
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a common complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Little is known about the involvement of adipokines in the pathogenesis of DVT. We evaluated whether adipokines can predict PTS. In a prospective cohort study, 320 DVT patients aged 70 years or less were enrolled. Serum adiponectin, leptin and resistin levels were measured three months since the index first-ever DVT. After 2 years' follow-up PTS was diagnosed in 83 of 309 available patients (26.9%) who had 13.9% lower adiponectin and 16% higher leptin levels compared with the remainder (both p < 0.0001). No PTS-associated differences in C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, D-dimer, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and resistin were observed. The multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, obesity and tissue plasminogen activator (tPa) showed that lower adiponectin (odds ratio [OR], 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31-0.56) and higher leptin levels (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.31-1.69) are independent predictors for PTS. Obesity-stratified logistic regression analysis confirmed that lower adiponectin (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.38-0.64) and higher leptin (OR, 1.41; 95% Cl, 1.25-1.58) levels predicted PTS. Our findings showed that lower adiponectin and higher leptin measured 3 months after DVT, regardless of obesity, can independently predict PTS, which suggests novel links between adipokines and thrombosis.
