Normalized Protein Catabolic Rate Is a Superior Nutritional Marker Associated With Dialysis Adequacy in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Current knowledge of the relationship between normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) and dialysis adequacy is limited. Our study aimed to explore the potential relationship between nPCR and dialysis adequacy. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed the association of nPCR with peritoneal dialysis adequacy in 266 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients (mean age 48.6 ± 13.1 years; 50.8% male). The patients were divided into two groups: a dialysis inadequacy group (total weekly Kt/V urea < 1.70) and a dialysis adequacy group (total weekly Kt/V urea?1.70). We then analyzed the correlation between dialysis adequacy and the patients' primary cause of end-stage renal disease, nutritional and inflammatory markers, and biochemical parameters. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was also used to identify risk factors for inadequate dialysis. Results: We observed a significantly higher level of nPCR (0.98 ± 0.22 vs. 0.79 ± 0.18 g/kg/day, p < 0.001) in the dialysis adequacy group, whereas we observed no significant differences among other nutritional markers such as albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin. Correlation analyses revealed that dialysis adequacy was positively associated with residual glomerular filtration rate (rGFR), hemoglobin, serum calcium, and body mass index (BMI), while dialysis adequacy was negatively associated with leak-protein, uric acid, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and serum phosphorus. Furthermore, a logistic regression analysis revealed that gender (male), nPCR <0.815 g/kg/day, higher weight, and rGFR <2.43 mL/min/1.73 m² were independent risk factors for inadequate dialysis. Conclusion: Nutritional status is closely associated with dialysis adequacy. Among common nutritional markers, nPCR may be superior for predicting CAPD dialysis adequacy. Gender (male), nPCR <0.815 g/kg/day, higher weight, and rGFR <2.43 mL/min/1.73 m² are independent risk factors for dialysis inadequacy in CAPD patients.

Project description:IntroductionThe impact of peritoneal dialysis modality on patient survival and peritonitis rates is not fully understood, and no large-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) is available. In the absence of a RCT, the use of an advanced matching procedure to reduce selection bias in large cohort studies may be the best approach. The aim of this study is to compare automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) according to peritonitis risk, technique failure and patient survival in a large nation-wide PD cohort.MethodsThis is a prospective cohort study that included all incident PD patients with at least 90 days of PD recruited in the BRAZPD study. All patients who were treated exclusively with either APD or CAPD were matched for 15 different covariates using a propensity score calculated with the nearest neighbor method. Clinical outcomes analyzed were overall mortality, technique failure and time to first peritonitis. For all analysis we also adjusted the curves for the presence of competing risks with the Fine and Gray analysis.ResultsAfter the matching procedure, 2,890 patients were included in the analysis (1,445 in each group). Baseline characteristics were similar for all covariates including: age, diabetes, BMI, Center-experience, coronary artery disease, cancer, literacy, hypertension, race, previous HD, gender, pre-dialysis care, family income, peripheral artery disease and year of starting PD. Mortality rate was higher in CAPD patients (SHR1.44 CI95%1.21-1.71) compared to APD, but no difference was observed for technique failure (SHR0.83 CI95%0.69-1.02) nor for time till the first peritonitis episode (SHR0.96 CI95%0.93-1.11).ConclusionIn the first large PD cohort study with groups balanced for several covariates using propensity score matching, PD modality was not associated with differences in neither time to first peritonitis nor in technique failure. Nevertheless, patient survival was significantly better in APD patients.
