Background: Peritoneal dialysis is used regularlly in treatment of ESRDs. Residual renal function (RRF) in these patients helps the adequacy of PD therapy very much. Objectives: 1. Study RRF of PD patients at Department of Nephro – Rheumatology, Hue Central Hospital. 2. Search the correlation between RRF and Kt/V. Patients and methods: 35 PD patients at Department of Nephro – Rheumatology, Hue Central Hospital. Measure RRF and Kt/V by formulars that depend on blood, urine and PD fluid samples. Results: Mean RRF of PD patients is 4.36 ± 13.8 ml/minute. There is a close correlation between RRF and Kt/V (r=0.79, p<0.01). Conclusion: RRF in PD patients correlates with Kt/V.

♦ Objective Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection has frequently been found in dialysis patients. Chronic infections induce overproduction of pro-inflammatory substances. Inflammation has been associated with cachexia and anorexia. We explored the relationship between HP infection, anorexia, and malnutrition in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. ♦ Patients and Methods The study included 48 clinically stable PD patients divided into four groups: HP+ with anorexia (group I, n = 12); HP+ without anorexia (group II, n = 4); HP- with anorexia (group III, n = 5); and HP- without anorexia (group IV, n = 27). Infection with HP was diagnosed by breath test. Anorexia was evaluated using a personal interview and an eating motivation scale (VAS). The VAS included five questions that are answered before and after eating. The questions concern desire to eat, hunger, feeling of fullness, prospective consumption, and palatability. Biochemical markers of nutrition and inflammation were also determined. ♦ Results At baseline, group I showed lower scores for desire to eat, hunger sensation, prospective consumption, and palatability. They also showed lower lymphocyte counts, prealbumin, transferrin, serum albumin, normalized equivalent of protein–nitrogen appearance (nPNA), and residual renal function (RRF). In addition, the same group showed higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and more sensation of fullness than the remaining groups. In the entire series, we found significant linear correlations between the following markers of nutrition and certain questions on the VAS: albumin with before-lunch desire to eat ( r = 0.38, p < 0.05), and prealbumin with before-lunch hunger ( r = 0.41, p < 0.05) and after-lunch hunger ( r = -0.35, p < 0.05). Negative linear correlations were found between albumin and fullness before lunch ( r = -0.45, p < 0.01), and between prealbumin and before-lunch desire to eat ( r = -0.39, p < 0.05). Negative linear correlations were also seen between CRP and albumin ( r = -0.35, p < 0.05) and between CRP and prealbumin ( r = -0.36, p < 0.05). Similarly, CRP showed a negative correlation with before-lunch desire to eat ( r = -0.38, p < 0.05) and after-lunch desire to eat ( r = -0.45, p < 0.01). After HP eradication, group I showed a significant increase in markers of nutrition and in VAS scores for almost all questions. Simultaneously, they showed a decrease in CRP level. Significant differences were also found in lymphocyte count (1105 ± 259.4 cells/mm3 vs 1330.8 ± 316 cells/mm3, p < 0.05), nPNA (0.9 ± 0.16 g/kg/day vs 1.07 ± 0.3 g/kg/day, p < 0.05), prealbumin (26.7 ± 6.5 mg/dL vs 33.9 ± 56.6 mg/dL, p < 0.01), albumin (3.48 ± 0.3 g/dL vs 3.67 ± 0.35 g/dL, p < 0.05), CRP (1.16 ± 1.14 mg/dL vs 0.88 ± 1.2 mg/dL, p < 0.054), before-lunch desire to eat (56.6 ± 6.8 vs 72.2 ± 4, p < 0.001), after-lunch desire to eat (5.4 ± 2.6 vs 12.3 ± 2, p < 0.01), hunger before lunch (55.4 ± 5.4 vs 73.1 ± 4.6, p < 0.001), hunger after lunch (5.8 ± 2.9 vs 11 ± 4, p < 0.01), fullness before lunch (36.6 ± 10.3 vs 18.7 ± 8.8, p < 0.001), consumption after lunch (5 ± 4.7 vs 17.5 ± 18, p < 0.05), and palatability (61 ± 5.3 vs 74.1 ± 4.1, p < 0.001). ♦ Conclusion Infection with HP is associated with anorexia, inflammation, and malnutrition in PD patients. Eradication of HP significantly improves this syndrome. Residual renal function seem to have a protective effect on appetite preservation. The present study supports the hypothesis of the involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of malnutrition in PD patients.

♦ In the present study, we aimed to determine levels of free carnitine in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in India and to correlate carnitine deficiency with various clinical parameters. ♦ Patients on HD and PD at two tertiary care centers were selected for the study. Baseline data were obtained, and a free carnitine analysis was performed. Carnitine deficiency was defined as a free carnitine level of less than 40 μmol/L. ♦ The total number of study patients was 96 (77 on HD, 19 on PD). In the PD group, the mean age was 56 years, with 26.3% of the patients being vegan, 47.4% having diabetes, and 57.9% having a daily urine output of <500 mL. The mean carnitine level in that group was 38.9 μmol/L, and 68.4% of the patients had a carnitine deficiency. A Pearson correlation test failed to show any association of carnitine level with parameters such as anemia, use of erythropoietin, non-vegetarian diet, diabetes, and hypertension. In the HD group, the mean age was 45 years, with 22% of the patients being vegan, 23% having diabetes, and 45.5% having a daily urine output of <500 mL. The mean carnitine level in the group was 38.2 μmol/L, and 64.3% of the patients had a carnitine deficiency. Residual renal function and duration of dialysis were different in HD patients with and without carnitine deficiency. Carnitine levels in the HD group correlated positively and statistically significantly with the presence of diabetes and hypertension. ♦ Conclusion This study is the first demonstration that Indian dialysis patients have carnitine deficiency.

The Mean

Background Potential risk factors for 1-year mortality, including the peritoneal component of dialysis dose, residual renal function, demographic data, hematocrit, serum albumin, dialysate-to-plasma creatinine ratio, and blood pressure, were examined in a national cohort of peritoneal dialysis patients randomly selected for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Core Indicators Project. Methods The study involved retrospective analysis of a cohort of 1219 patients receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis who were alive on December 31, 1996. Results During the 1-year follow-up period, 275 patients were censored and 200 non censored patients died. Among the 763 patients who had at least one calculable adequacy measure, the mean [± standard deviation (SD)] weekly Kt/V urea was 2.16 ± 0.61 and the mean weekly creatinine clearance was 66.1 ± 24.4 L/1.73 m2. Excluding the 365 patients who were anuric, the mean (±SD) urinary weekly Kt/V urea was 0.64 ± 0.52 (median: 0.51) and the mean (±SD) urinary weekly creatinine clearance was 31.0 ± 23.3 L/1.73 m2 (median: 26.3 L/1.73 m2). By Cox proportional hazard modeling, lower quartiles of renal Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality; lower quartiles of renal creatinine clearance were of borderline significance for predicting 1-year mortality. The dialysate component of neither the weekly creatinine clearance nor the weekly Kt/V urea were predictive of 1-year mortality. Other predictors of 1-year mortality ( p < 0.01) included lower serum albumin level, older age, and the presence of diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESRD, and, for the creatinine clearance model only, lower diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion Residual renal function is an important predictor of 1-year mortality in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients.
