Objective. To assess the degree of chronic SI (CSI) in patients with ESRD receiving different types of renal replacement therapy.
The study included the following groups: patients with ESRD receiving program hemodialysis (12 hours per week, blood samples were taken prior to dialysis session (n=42), renal transplant patients with normal allograft function (n=23), patients with chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD, n=24). The control group included 50 healthy people. Chronic glomerulonephritis was the condition that resulted in the development of ESRD in all the patients. Blood plasma was tested for the following SI indicators: CRP, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNFα, D-dimers, cortisol, myoglobin, troponin I. On the basis of these markers using an original method we calculated the integral index of intensity of chronic SI (from 0 to 8 points).
Results. CSI was diagnosed only in hemodialysis patients (90.9%) and in the CAD group (43.5%). The incidence of systemic inflammation reaction and tissue alteration was the highest (90.9% and 90.9%) in hemodialysis patients. Patients in the CAD group most often presented systemic inflammation reaction (91.3%) and distress of neuroendocrine system (56.5%). While elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and CRP (41.7%), distress of neuroendocrine system (29.2%), and microthrombosis (4.2%) were recorded in the normal allograft function group, on the whole, there were no cases of CSI.
Conclusion. CSI is a severe ESRD complication in hemodialysis patients. Following the renal transplantation CSI is found only in patients with CAD, proving that CSI is an additional link in the CAD pathogenesis.
