Association of leptin with mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis: a prospective study.

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Prior studies evaluating the relationship between leptin and outcomes in chronic kidney disease patients have shown conflicting results. Our aim was to evaluate the association of serum leptin with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality in stable maintenance hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out an observational prospective cohort study of 53 patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The follow-up period was 5 years. Leptin levels were measured at baseline before the start of a hemodialysis session. Proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the relationship between leptin and all-cause and CVD-related mortality. RESULTS During the follow-up period, 26 patients (49.1%) died. Fifteen of 26 deaths (57.7%) were attributable to CVD. Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that a leptin level equal to or greate than the median value (3.45 ng/mL) was associated with lower mortality rates (hazard ratio, 0.211; 95% confidence interval, 0.062 to 0.723; P = .01) after multivariable adjustment for potential confounders. However, leptin was not an independent risk factor for CVD-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS There was a converse association between the serum leptin concentration and mortality in stable maintenance hemodialysis patients. Low serum leptin concentration is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality in stable maintenance hemodialysis patients, but may not be linked with CVD-related mortality.

سطح پلاسمایی لپتین و ارتباط آن با نیاز به اریتروپویتین جهت اصلاح کم‌خونی در بیماران همودیالیزی
Background: Anemia is a common complication accompanied by high morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Considering the fact that the reduction of erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis is the main cause of uremic anemia, receiving recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) can improve the condition in these patients. Some of these hemodialysis patients, however, have acceptable hemoglobin lev...

Background and Aim: Protein- energy malnutrition is a major problem and one of the risk factors in increasing mortality in hemodialysis patients. Since there is not any single index in the evaluation of nutritional status in these patients, leptin can be used as one of the parameters in this process. In this study, the correlation between serum leptin and biochemical and anthropometric parame...

To consider the correlation of serum leptin with dyslipidemia in hemodialysis patients. For maintenance hemodialysis patients levels of serum, lipid profiles and serum leptin were measured. Stable hemodialysis patients enrolled to the study. In all patients (36) a near significant,inverse correlation of serum leptin with serum LDL-C was seen. In male hemodialysis group a near significant positi...

Background and Purpose: Sleep disorders are a common problem in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Poor sleep quality is considered as a potential predictor for mortality and reduced quality of life in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate subjective sleep quality in hemodialysis patients and its association with hemodialysis timing. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was co...
