Abstract In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving dialysis, anemia is common and related to a higher mortality rate. Erythropoietin (EPO) resistance and iron refractory anemia require red blood cell transfusions. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a disease with hematopoietic dysplasia. There are limited reports regarding ESRD patients with MDS. We aim to assess whether, for ESRD patients, undergoing dialysis is a predictive factor of MDS by analyzing data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We enrolled 74,712 patients with chronic renal failure (ESRD) who underwent dialysis and matched 74,712 control patients. In our study, we noticed that compared with the non-ESRD controls, in ESRD patients, undergoing dialysis (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] = 1.60, 1.16–2.19) and age (sHR = 1.03, 1.02–1.04) had positive predictive value for MDS occurrence. Moreover, more units of red blood cell transfusion (higher than 4 units per month) was also associated with a higher incidence of MDS. The MDS cumulative incidence increased with the duration of dialysis in ESRD patients. These effects may be related to exposure to certain cytokines, including interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and tumor growth factor-β. In conclusion, we report the novel finding that ESRD patients undergoing dialysis have an increased risk of MDS.

Abstract Background: The causes of anaemia in patients with end-stage renal disease include a relative deficiency in erythropoietin production and complex clinical conditions. We aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of anaemia in patients with end-stage renal disease who were undergoing maintenance dialysis by measuring erythrocyte creatine levels.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we evaluated 69 patients with end-stage renal disease who were receiving haemodialysis (n = 55) or peritoneal dialysis (n = 14). Erythrocyte creatine level, a quantitative marker of mean red blood cell (RBC) age, was measured.Results: The mean RBC age was significantly shorter in the haemodialysis group than in the peritoneal dialysis group (47.7 days vs. 59.8 days, p<0.0001), although the haemoglobin levels were comparable between the groups. A Spearman correlation coefficient analysis revealed that shortened RBC age positively correlated with transferrin saturation (r = 0.54), ferritin level (r= 0.47), and haptoglobin level (r = 0.39) but inversely related with reticulocyte (r = −0.36), weekly doses of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs; r = −0.62), erythropoietin resistance index (r = −0.64), and intradialytic ultrafiltration rate (r = −0.32).Conclusions: Shortened RBC age was observed in patients who were receiving maintenance haemodialysis and was associated with iron deficiency, greater haptoglobin consumption, higher ESA requirements, and poor erythropoietin responsiveness, as well as with greater intradialytic fluid extraction.

A Spearman correlation coefficient analysis revealed that shortened RBC age positively correlated with transferrin saturation (r = 0.54), ferritin level (r = 0.47), and haptoglobin level (r = 0.39) but inversely related with reticulocyte (r = − 0.36), weekly doses of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs; r = − 0.62), erythropoietin resistance index (r = − 0.64), and intradialytic ultrafiltration rate (r = − 0.32). Conclusions Shortened RBC age was observed in patients who were receiving maintenance haemodialysis and was associated with iron deficiency, greater haptoglobin consumption, higher ESA requirements, and poor erythropoietin responsiveness, as well as with greater intradialytic fluid extraction.
