Are PTH levels related to oxidative stress and inflammation in chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis?

چکیده
Introduction: Patients at end stage renal disease have higher levels of inflammation and oxidative stress than the general population. Many factors contribute to these issues, and the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is also implicated. Objective: The study was conducted in order to assess the relationship between PTH levels and inflammation and oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients. Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients of two hemodialysis facilities in Londrina, Brazil. Patients with other conditions known to generate oxidative stress and inflammation were excluded. Blood levels of PTH and biochemical parameters of inflammation (interleukins 1 and 6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and oxidative stress (total plasma antioxidant capacity, malonic dialdehyde, lipid hydroperoxidation, advanced oxidation protein products, quantification of nitric oxide metabolites, and 8-isoprostane) were measured before a dialysis session. Then, we made correlation analyses between PTH levels - either as the continuous variable or categorized into tertiles-, and inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. Results: PTH did not show any correlation with the tested inflammation and oxidative stress parameters, nor as continuous variable neither as categorical variable. Conclusion: In this descriptive study, the results suggest that the inflammation and oxidative stress of hemodialysis patients probably arise from mechanisms other than secondary hyperparathyroidism. Introdução: Pacientes com doença renal em estágio terminal têm níveis de inflamação e estresse oxidativo maiores do que a população geral. Muitos fatores contribuem para isso, e o hormônio paratireoidiano (PTH) é um deles. Objetivo: Estudo foi realizado para avaliar a relação entre os níveis de PTH e níveis de inflamação e estresse oxidativo em pacientes em hemodiálise. Métodos: estudo transversal com pacientes de duas unidades de hemodiálise de Londrina, Brasil. Pacientes com condições causadoras de inflamação e estresse oxidativo foram exclusos. Níveis plasmáticos de PTH e parâmetros bioquímicos de inflamação (interleucina 1 e 6, fator de necrose tumoral alfa) e estresse oxidativo (capacidade antioxidante plasmática total, dialdeído malônico, hidroperoxidação lipídica, produtos avançados da degradação proteica, quantificação de metabólitos de óxido nítrico e 8-isoprostano) foram dosados antes da sessão de hemodiálise. Realizou-se análise de correlação entre os níveis de PTH - tanto como variável continua como variável categórica em tercis - e os parâmetros de inflamação e estresse oxidativo. Resultados: Não houve correlação do PTH com nenhum dos parâmetros testados, nem como variável contínua, nem como categórica. Conclusão: Neste estudo descritivo, os resultados sugerem que a inflamação e o estresse oxidativo em pacientes em hemodiálise provavelmente tem origem em mecanismos que não incluem o hiperparatireoidismo secundário.

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and inflammation are common findings in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and they are directly related to the increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, which is the major cause of death in these patients, particularly for those undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Strength physical exercise is a new therapeutic approach to reduce these complications in CKD ...
