Relationship between CRP polymorphism and cardiovascular events in Chinese peritoneal dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -717A→G substitution, rs2794521, was found in the promoter of the C-reactive protein (CRP) gene. Functional studies showed that A allele promoter has higher transcriptional activity than the G allele. This study investigated the association between this SNP and the outcome of Chinese patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: The study included 441 new PD patients (232 men; mean age ± SD, 56.7±13.5 years). CRP genotyping was determined; patients were followed for 41.3±18.3 months for cardiovascular events. RESULTS: For the entire cohort, 5-year event-free survival rates did not differ between the AA and AG/GG groups (35.7% and 31.9%, respectively; P=0.64). However, there was significant interaction between plasma cholesterol levels and CRP genotype groups on event-free survival (P=0.04 for interaction). For patients with cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dl or greater, the 5-year event-free survival rate in the AG/GG group was significantly better than that in the AA group (54.7% versus 40.0%; P=0.04), whereas there was no difference in event-free survival between genotype groups for patients with cholesterol levels less than 200 mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS: CRP gene -717AG or GG genotypes is associated with cardiovascular benefit to Chinese PD patients with cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dl or greater. These findings suggest a complex interaction among cholesterol, CRP, and cardiovascular disease in PD patients.

Project description:BackgroundCardiovascular disease is a frequent cause of death in peritoneal dialysis patients. Biocompatible peritoneal dialysis solutions with neutral pH have been anticipated to reduce cardiovascular disease more than conventional peritoneal dialysis solutions with low pH, but it remains unclear which factors at peritoneal dialysis initiation increase cardiovascular risk in patients using biocompatible peritoneal dialysis solutions. This study was undertaken to investigate which clinical factors at peritoneal dialysis initiation, including peritoneal transport status, are associated with cardiovascular event in patients using biocompatible peritoneal dialysis solution.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study of peritoneal dialysis patients using biocompatible solutions with neutral pH assessed relations of clinical parameters at peritoneal dialysis initiation to cardiovascular event during the subsequent five years.ResultsOf 102 patients who started peritoneal dialysis, cardiovascular event occurred in 18. Age, history of cardiovascular disease before peritoneal dialysis initiation, hemoglobin, serum albumin, C-reactive protein, peritoneal permeability defined by the ratio of dialysate to plasma creatinine concentration at 4 hr (D/Pcre) in peritoneal equilibration test (PET), number of patients in each PET category defined by D/Pcre, and peritoneal protein clearance significantly differed between patients with and without cardiovascular event. For patients divided according to PET category using Kaplan-Meier method, the group of high average to high peritoneal transporters exhibited significantly high incidence of cardiovascular event and mortality compared with the groups of low and low-average peritoneal transporters (Log rank; p=0.0003 and 0.005, respectively). A Cox proportional hazards model showed independent association of PET category classification with cardiovascular event.ConclusionsPeritoneal permeability expressed as PET category at peritoneal dialysis initiation is an independent cardiovascular risk factor in peritoneal dialysis patients using biocompatible peritoneal dialysis solution with neutral pH. Greater peritoneal permeability at peritoneal dialysis initiation might reflect subclinical vascular disorders.

Project description:ObjectivesTo analyse the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA), all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients to inform clinical practice and future research.DesignA systematic review of observational studies.Data sourcesPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP) and Wan Fang databases were searched from their inception to January 2021 for cohort and case-control studies reporting SUA and mortality in patients with PD.MethodsThe Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to appraise quality of cohort and case-control studies. Effect estimates were presented as HRs with 95% CIs in a meta-analysis using STATA V.16.0. Data not suitable for pooling were synthesised qualitatively.ResultsFourteen cohort studies with 24 022 patients were included. No case-control studies were identified. For prospective cohort studies, pooled results for the highest SUA category were significantly greater than the lowest for all-cause (one study; 1278participants; HR 1.79; 95% CI 1.17 to 2.75) and CV mortality (one study; 1278 participants; HR 2.63; 1.62-4.27). An increase of 1 mg/dL in SUA level was associated with a 16% increased risk of all-cause mortality (one study; 1278 participants; HR 1.16; 1.03-1.32) and 34% increased CV mortality risk (one study; 1278 participants; HR 1.34; 1.16-1.55). For retrospective cohort studies, the highest SUA category did not demonstrate an elevated all-cause (five studies; 4570 participants; HR 1.09; 0.70-1.70) or CV mortality (three studies; 3748 participants; HR 1.00; 0.44-2.31) compared with the lowest SUA category. Additionally, there was no increase in all-cause (eight studies; 11 541 participants; HR 0.94; 0.88-1.02) or CV mortality (three studies; 7427 participants; HR 0.90; 0.76-1.06) for every 1 mg/dL increase in SUA level.ConclusionsResults of prospective and retrospective cohort studies were inconsistent. Consequently, prospective, multicentre, long-term follow-up studies are required to confirm the relationship between SUA and mortality in patients with PD.

Project description:Objectives:The monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), as a new marker of the systemic inflammatory response, is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the general population and hemodialysis patients. However, the association between the MLR and CVD mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) has received little attention. Methods:In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, 1753 incident PD patients from November 1, 2005, to June 30, 2017, with a baseline MLR were enrolled. The primary endpoint was CVD mortality. The association of MLR with CVD mortality was assessed using a multivariable-adjusted Cox model and the Fine and Gray competing risk model. Results:Of 1753 patients, the mean age was 51.1 ± 14.9 years, 56.9% of patients were male, and the Charlson comorbidity index was 4.29 ± 1.75. During the follow-up period of 31.2 ± 18.4 months, 368 patients died, of which 200 (54.3%) deaths were caused by CVD events. CVD mortality rates for the lowest, middle, and highest MLR tertiles were 70.6, 78.4, and 88.9 per 1000 patient-years, respectively (P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that survival rates were significantly different among the three MLR groups (log?rank = 22.41, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that survival rates were significantly different among the three MLR groups (log?rank = 22.41, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that survival rates were significantly different among the three MLR groups (log?rank = 22.41, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that survival rates were significantly different among the three MLR groups (log?rank = 22.41, P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the highest MLR tertile was significantly associated with a hazard ratio (HR) for CVD mortality of 1.45 (95% confidence interval, 1.13-2.51, P = 0.016). The Fine and Gray method analysis showed that using all-cause mortality as competing risk, the highest MLR tertile remained an independent predictor of CVD mortality (HR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.10-2.47, P = 0.021). Conclusions:Higher MLR levels at the commencement of PD may be independently associated with increased CVD mortality in PD patients.
