Left ventricular remodeling and its correlation with serum cardiac troponin I in patients with end-stage renal disease treated.

Objective: To investigate the effects of different blood purification modes on left ventricular remodeling and its relationship with serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Method: A total of 108 patients with ESRD were selected, 55 cases were divided into hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion (HD + HP) group, in which patients participants accepted routine hemodialysis for three times/week and hemoperfusion for three times/month; 53 cases in hemodialysis combined with hemodialysis filtration (HD + HDF) group, routine hemodialysis three times/week + hemodialysis filtration three times/month. The total duration of dialysis in the study was 1 year. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels were measured before dialysis and 1 year after treatment, and related parameters were measured by echocardiography, including ventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVEDs), and left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI). The paired t test was used within the group. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman correlation analysis.

Result: After treatment, the levels of cTnI, IVST, LVPWT, LVEDd, LVEDs, and LVMI in the two groups were increased, and the results were statistically significant (all p < 0.05). In addition, cTnI of the two groups was significantly correlated with IVST, LVPWT, LVEDd, LVEDs, and LVMI (all p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Left ventricular remodeling is common in patients with ESRD, HD + Hp, and HD + HDF cannot reduce the phenomenon of left ventricular remodeling, cTnI can be used as a predictor of left ventricular hypertrophy and enlargement.
