Abstract
Introduction: Patients with end stage kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) are prone to malnutrition and infections.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell dysfunction on clinical outcomes of MHD patients, in association with nutritional status.
Methods: This prospective study investigated 39 MHD patients by evaluating the oxidative activity of their PMN cells using Phorbol 12-Myristate-13-Acetate (PMA) stimulation. Blood samples were taken from each participant at dialysis initiation. Demographics, laboratory data, and clinical outcomes during a 24-month follow-up period were obtained from electronic medical records.
Results: Phagocytic activity was described in percentiles of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of PMA levels. There were no differences in comorbidities between patients with low or high MFI-PMA percentiles. Patients in the lowest (25th) MFI-PMA percentile (N = 10) had poorer nutritional status and more frequent severe infections compared to the other 29 patients (4.3 ± 3.4 events versus 2 ± 2.2 events, p = 0.017). Furthermore, they had more frequent hospitalizations (>3) due to infections (70% versus 41%, p = 0.073) and their mortality rate was higher (80% versus 31%, p = 0.007). The odds ratio for all-cause mortality was 8.85. In multivariate analysis, the MFI-PMA percentile and ischemic heart disease were the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality (p = 0.02 and p = 0.005, respectively).
Conclusions: Low MFI-PMA levels were associated with poor nutritional status and adverse clinical outcomes and might serve as a prognostic biomarker, predicting severe infections and mortality among malnourished MHD patients.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Dialysis is a bimonthly publication focusing exclusively on cutting-edge clinical aspects of dialysis therapy. Besides publishing papers by the most respected names in the field of dialysis, the Journal has unique useful features, all designed to keep you current:
-Fellows Forum
-Dialysis rounds
-Editorials
-Opinions
-Briefly noted
-Summary and Comment
-Guest Edited Issues
-Special Articles
Virtually everything you read in Seminars in Dialysis is written or solicited by the editors after choosing the most effective of nine different editorial styles and formats. They know that facts, speculations, ''how-to-do-it'' information, opinions, and news reports all play important roles in your education and the patient care you provide.
Alternate issues of the journal are guest edited and focus on a single clinical topic in dialysis.
