Carotid intima media thickness, oxidative stress, and inflammation in children with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Objective: We evaluated the association between inflammation and oxidative stress with carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and elasticity increment module (E(inc)) in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: This analytical, cross-sectional study assessed 134 children aged 6-17 years with CKD. Anthropometric measurements and biochemistry of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, and homocysteine were recorded. Bilateral carotid ultrasound (US) was taken. Patients were compared with controls for cIMT and E(inc) using ≥ 75 percentile (PC).

Results: Mean cIMT was 0.528 ± 0.089 mm; E(inc) was 0.174 ± 0.121 kPa × 10(3); cIMT negatively correlated with phosphorus (r -0.19, p =0.028) and the calcium × phosphorus (Ca × P) product (r -0.26, p =0.002), and positively with iPTH (r 0.19,p =0.024). After adjusting for potential confounders, hemodialysis (HD) (β=0.111, p =<0.001), automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) (β=0.064, p =0.026), and Ca x P product(β=-0.002, p =0.015) predicted cIMT (R(2)=0.296). In patients on dialysis, HD (β=0.068, p =0.010), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (β=0.001, p =0.048), and GSH(β=-0.0001, p=0.041) independently predicted cIMT (R(2)=0.204); HD, hypoalbuminemia, and high iPTH increased the risk of increased cIMT. In dialysis, E(inc) was inversely associated with GSH, and in predialysis, Ca × P correlated with/predicted E(inc) (β=0.001, p =0.009).

Conclusions: cIMT and E(inc) strongly associate with several biochemical parameters and GSH but not with other oxidative stress or inflammation markers.
