Spontaneous spondylodiscitis in patients under haemodyalisis

Objective: In addition to causing immunosuppression, hemodialysis may increase the risk of infection, given that patients are more frequently exposed vascular interventions and operative procedures. The present study aims reveal prevalence spondylodiscitis in on hemodialysis, potential factors, parameters help early diagnosis disease. Materials Methods: Patients who received treatment unit between 2010 2020 were included study. Data with low back pain obtained retrospectively from Mia-Med patient registry system. Results: frequency was 2.3%. Findings showed prolonged dialysis duration (p<0.001), catheter use (p=0.005), diabetes mellitus (p=0.029), heart failure (p=0.005) increased discitis. Leukocyte neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (p=0.006), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) (p=0.001), sedimentation (p<0.001) C-reactive protein (CRP) levels significantly higher spondylodiscitis. Conclusion: Spondylodiscitis occurs prevalently comorbidity, have long duration, catheters elderly patients. Leukocytosis, CRP, can be used for rapid diagnosis. addition, NLR TLR, which easily calculated results whole blood tests,
