Abdominal Obesity and Mortality in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

چکیده
BACKGROUND The relationship between abdominal obesity (AO) and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is controversial. METHODS The prevalence of AO in 84 PD patients was assessed in a cross-section manner and followed up for 9 years at a single center. AO was defined as a waist circumference (WC) of more than 90 cm in males or more than 80 cm in females. The patients were classified as either with AO(AO group) or without AO(nAO group). RESULTS The AO group was older, contained more diabetics, more females, and had higher Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI) scores, BMI, and triglyceride and lower serum creatinine than the non-AO subjects. The follow-up duration was 53.2±34.4 months. At the end of the follow-up, eighteen patients (21.4%) were dead; 9 died of cardiovascular causes. The five year survival rate was 40.8%. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that both all-cause and cardiovascular-cause mortalities were similar in the AO and nAO groups. Multivariate analysis revealed the presence of AO not to be an independent risk factor of all-cause and cardiovascular-cause mortality. CONCLUSION AO itself might not be a risk factor for mortality in PD patients. Nevertheless, further prospective studies with a large number of patients will be needed to prove this.

Background: The relative contribution of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a critical issue, particularly in patients with ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Based on routine results obtained from the PD Adequest 2.0 software, the present study aimed to re-evaluate the separate effects of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption ...

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is one of the most commonly used treatment methods for the patients with end stage renal failure. In recent years, the mortality rate of patients under this treatment has decreased; however, long-term survival is still an important challenge for health systems. The present study aimed to predict the survival of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. ...
متن کاملMajor and minor risk factors for cardiovascular disease in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.
Uremia in general and peritoneal dialysis in particular bring with them risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. These factors include multiple lipid abnormalities, hyperhomocysteinemia, abdominal obesity, chronic inflammation, hypoalbuminemia, oxidative stress, and AGE formation. When these are combined with conventional risk factors, one can appreciate why the incidence of ...

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis causes weight loss, intermittent bowel obstruction and decrease in peritoneal water and solute transport. Mortality may reach up to 50% due to severe malnutrition and ileus. Although the etiology is not fully known, many reasons such as frequent peritoni...
