Abstract:

Objective To investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods A total of 452 patients with MHD were enrolled. Total cholesterol (TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),apolipoprotein A1 (apo A1),apolipoprotein B (apo B),lipoprotein a [Lp(a)],homocysteine (Hcy),N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP),cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined before dialysis. According to CVD mortality,MHD patients were classified into mortality group and non-mortality group,and the risk factors of CVD mortality were analyzed. Results The levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in mortality group were higher than those in non-mortality group(P<0.05),and the levels of TC and LDL-C were lower(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance for the other parameters between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that NT-proBNP and hs-CRP were risk factors for CVD mortality in MHD patients [odds ratio(OR)=5.698,95% confidence interval(CI)1.908-17.014,P=0.002;OR=3.653,95%CI 1.249-10.165,P=0.018]. Conclusions There are some differences for the risk factors of CVD mortality between MHD patients and general population. NT-proBNP and hs-CRP may be independent risk factors for CVD mortality in MHD patients.
