Cox proportional hazard model analysis of survival in end-stage renal disease patients with small-sized high-density lipoprotein particles.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Dyslipidemia is commonly seen in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This prospective study investigates whether small-sized high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles alone or in combination with high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) are independent determinants of ESRD mortality. DESIGN AND METHODS:We performed 36 months follow-up study in 122 haemodialysis (HD) patients. HDL size and subclass distribution were determined by gradient gel electrophoresis. Baseline characteristics of the patients were evaluated for the prediction of mortality. RESULTS:Cox regressions analysis showed that patients with small-sized HDL particles had 2.8-fold higher risk of lethal outcome (P<0.05). Concomitant presence of small-sized HDL particles and increased hsCRP concentration were significantly associated with reduced survival rate (HR=3.907; P<0.05). Observed relationships persisted after adjustment for serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. CONCLUSIONS:Our results indicate that small-sized HDL particles alone and combined with elevated hsCRP concentrations are independent predictors of reduced survival in HD patients.

  • Searching for a BNP standard: Glycosylated proBNP as a common calibrator enables improved comparability of commercial BNP immunoassays.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Circulating B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is widely accepted as a diagnostic and risk assessment biomarker of cardiac function. Studies suggest that there are significant differences in measured concentrations among different commercial BNP immunoassays. The purpose of our study was to compare BNP-related...
