Abstract

Chronic renal failure (CRF) patients suffer from a chronic inflammation. They are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In order to investigate this inflammatory process and cardiovascular risk factors associated with haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), we compared serum/plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) of 146 CRF patients treated or not treated with PD or HD. Serum cytokines and CRP as well as plasma cTnT were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, chemiluminescence immunoassay, and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, respectively. Results indicated that serum interleukin (IL)-18 concentrations were significantly higher in PD and low creatinine clearance pre-dialysis CRF (LCC) patients than HD patients (both p < 0.05). IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha concentrations were significantly higher in PD patients than LCC patients (both p < 0.01). Serum hsCRP and plasma cTnT in HD were significantly higher than LCC (both p < 0.01). The elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines should play an important role in the chronic inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk of CRF patients on dialysis. We are evaluating further the diagnostic and prognostic applications of pro-inflammatory cytokines and biochemical inflammatory markers for these patients.
