Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been recognised as a worldwide health threat and understanding its complex patho-physiological mechanisms could go a long way in taking care of patients with CKD. One of the most important causes for mortality in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients is Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). ESRD is a low grade chronic inflammatory state, suspected to promote atherosclerosis. Aim: To determine, if there is any association between elevated High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) and development of future cardiovascular events in stage-5 CKD patients. Materials and Methods: Forty-five CKD stage-5 patients were included in the study, after ruling out patients with established CVD. According to categorisation proposed by the American Heart Association for the cut-off value of hs-CRP-value (3 mg/L), patients were divided into two groups. Those who had hs-CRP more than 3 mg/L were considered to have ‘elevated hs-CRP’ and those who had a value 3 mg/L and below were considered to have ‘normal hs-CRP’ levels. These patients were followed-up monthly, for a period of one year to record any occurrence of cardiovascular events (coronary events/cerebrovascular accidents/peripheral occlusive vascular disease). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 was used for analysis. Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used for statistical comparison between the groups and a p-value of 0.05 or less was considered to be statistically significant. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was also plotted to determine the cut-off value for hs-CRP based on the occurrence of any cardiovascular event. Results: Baseline hs-CRP level was more than 3 mg/L in 42% of patients. Among those who had elevated hs-CRP, 78.9% of patients developed cardiovascular events during the follow-up period. This signifies a strong association between elevated hs-CRP and CVD in ESRD patients. The hs-CRP cut-off point of 3 mg/L was obtained from ROC curve. Conclusion: There was a significant association between elevated hs-CRP and development of cardiovascular events in ESRD patients. Hence, hs-CRP can be used as a marker of future cardiovascular events in CKD stage-5 patients.

Background Inflammation levels are lower in East Asians than in Western people. We studied the association between high‐sensitivity hs‐CRP (C‐reactive protein) and adverse outcomes in Korean patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods and Results We included 2018 participants from the KNOW‐CKD (Korean Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease) between April 2011 and February 2016. The primary outcome was a composite of extended major cardiovascular events (eMACE) or all‐cause mortality. The secondary end points were separate outcomes of eMACE, all‐cause death, and adverse kidney outcome. We also evaluated predictive ability of hs‐CRP for the primary outcome. The median hs‐CRP level was 0.60 mg/L. During the mean follow‐up of 3.9 years, there were 125 (6.2%) eMACEs and 80 (4.0%) deaths. In multivariable Cox analysis after adjustment of confounders, there was a graded association of hs‐CRP with the primary outcome. The hazard ratios for hs‐CRPs of 1.0 to 2.99 and ≥3.0 mg/L were 1.33 (95% CI, 0.87–2.03) and 2.08 (95% CI, 1.30–3.33) compared with the hs‐CRP of <1.0 mg/L. In secondary outcomes, this association was consistent for eMACE and all‐cause death; however, hs‐CRP was not associated with adverse kidney outcomes. Finally, prediction models failed to show improvement of predictive performance of hs‐CRP compared with conventional factors. Conclusions In Korean patients with chronic kidney disease, the hs‐CRP level was low and significantly associated with higher risks of eMACEs and mortality. However, hs‐CRP did not associate with adverse kidney outcome, and the predictive performance of hs‐CRP was not strong.

Abstract Background and Aims High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level is lower in East Asians than in the Western people and its clinical significance needs to be further explored. We aimed to investigate whether hs-CRP could function as a biomarker in Korean CKD patients. Method We studied the association of hs-CRP with adverse clinical outcomes in 2,018 patients from the KoreaN cohort study for Outcome in patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD). The primary outcome was a composite of extended major cardiovascular events (MACE) or all-cause mortality. Extended MACE (eMACE) included non-fatal cardiovascular events, symptomatic arrhythmia, and cardiac death. The secondary endpoints were separate outcome of eMACE, all-cause death, and adverse kidney outcome. We also evaluated predictive ability of hs-CRP for the primary outcome. Results The median hs-CRP level was 0.60 mg/L (IQR 0.2-1.7), and the mean eGFR was 53.6 ml/min/1.73 m2. During the mean follow-up of 3.9 years, there were 125 (6.2%) eMACEs and 80 (4.0%) deaths. The primary composite outcome occurred more frequently in patients with higher hs-CRP level than in those with lower hs-CRP level. In multivariable Cox analysis after adjustment of confounders, there was a graded association of hs-CRP with the primary outcome. The HRs (95% CI) for hs-CRP of 1.0 to 2.99, and ≥ 3.0 mg/L were 1.37 (0.89-2.12) and 2.20 (1.36-3.56), compared with hs-CRP of &lt;1.0 mg/L. In analyses of secondary outcomes, this association was consistent for eMACE and all-cause death; however, hs-CRP was not associated with adverse kidney outcomes. Finally, prediction models failed to show improvement of predictive performance of hs-CRP compared to conventional factors. Conclusion In Korean CKD patients, serum hs-CRP level was low and significantly associated with higher risk of eMACEs and mortality. However, a low serum hs-CRP level was not predictive of adverse kidney outcome, and the predictive performance of hs-CRP was not strong.

Background and aims Oral health could potentially be a modifiable risk factor for adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients transitioning from predialysis treatment to maintenance dialysis and transplantation. We aimed to study the association between an index of radiographically assessed oral health, Panoramic Tomographic Index (PTI), and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and episodes of bacteremia and laboratory measurements during a three-year prospective follow-up in CKD stage 4–5 patients not on maintenance dialysis at baseline. Methods Altogether 190 CKD stage 4–5 patients without maintenance dialysis attended panoramic dental radiographs in the beginning of the study. The patients were followed up for three years or until death. MACEs and episodes of bacteremia were recorded during follow-up. Laboratory sampling for C-reactive protein and leukocytes was repeated tri-monthly. Results PTI was not associated with baseline laboratory parameters or C-reactive protein or leukocytes examined as repeated measures through the 3-year follow-up. During follow-up, 22 patients had at least one episode of bacteremia, but only 2 of the bacteremias were considered to be of oral origin. PTI was not associated with incident bacteremia during follow-up. Thirty-six patients died during follow-up including 17 patients due to cardiovascular causes. During follow-up 42 patients were observed with a MACE. PTI was independently associated with all-cause (HR 1.074 95% CI 1.029–1.122, p = 0.001) and cardiovascular (HR 1.105, 95% CI 1.057–1.157, p<0.0001) mortality, as well as, incident MACEs (HR 1.071 95% CI 1.031–1.113, p = 0.0004) in the multivariable Cox models adjusted for age and kidney transplantation or CKD treatment modality during follow-up. Conclusions Radiographically assessed dental health is independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and MACEs but not with the incidence of bacteremia in CKD stage 4–5 patients transitioning to maintenance dialysis and renal transplantation during follow-up.

Background: This study evaluated the association of the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to prealbumin ratio (CPR) with adverse cardiovascular events after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: The study included 682 patients who presented with STEMI and were treated with primary PCI. Patients were divided into 2 groups: high CPR (CPR ≥0.02) and low CPR (CPR <0.02). The primary endpoint of the study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as cardiovascular mortality or admission due to recurrent AMI or heart failure. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to assess the prognostic value of CPR on MACE in patients with STEMI. Results: During a median follow-up of 18 months, the accumulated incidence rate of MACE was significantly higher in the high-CPR group than in the low-CPR group (38.7% versus 12.0%, P < .01). Multivariate analysis revealed that CPR was an independent predictor for increased risk of MACE (hazard ratio = 3.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.14 to 4.49, P < .01). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve for predicting the diagnosis of MACE was higher for CPR (0.82, 95% CI 0.77 to 0.87) than hs-CRP (0.70, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.75). Conclusion: CPR was independently associated with MACE and can be used for risk stratification in patients with STEMI.

Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

Background: Inflammatory biomarkers are associated with adverse cardiovascular events during ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to investigate the role of inflammatory biomarkers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and soluble ST-2 (sST2), for prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in STEMI. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study that consecutively enrolled patients with STEMI. Subjects were observed during hospitalization until discharge or fatal events happened. Adverse cardiovascular event was a compilation of cardiac mortality, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, reinfarction, and malignant ventricular arrhythmia. Blood samples were withdrawn on admission and inflammatory biomarkers (hs-CRP and sST2) were measured. The receiver operator characteristics curve and multivariable analysis were performed to determine which inflammatory biomarkers predict in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events and mortality. Result: Of 166 subjects, the in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 41 subjects (24.6%) and mortality occurred in 16 subjects (9.6%). Subjects with in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events and mortality had a significantly higher hs-CRP level, but comparable sST2 level than subjects without events. The hs-CRP level was the most precise biomarkers to predict in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events (hs-CRP cut-off ≥2.75 mg/L) and mortality (hs-CRP cut-off ≥7 mg/L). Multivariable analysis indicated hs-CRP ≥2.75 mg/L as an independent predictor for in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-7.39, P = .039) and hs-CRP ≥7 mg/L for mortality (adjusted OR: 5.45, 95% CI: 1.13-26.18, P = .034) in STEMI. Conclusion: On admission, hs-CRP level independently predicted in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events, at cut-off level ≥2.75 mg/L, and mortality, at cut-off level ≥7 mg/L, in STEMI patients.
