Possible role of IL-6 and TIE2 gene polymorphisms in predicting the initial high transport status in patients with peritoneal dialysis: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interleukin (IL)-6 and TIE2 gene polymorphisms on baseline peritoneal transport property.

Design

An observational study.

Setting

Renji Hospital in Shanghai, China.

Participants

This study included 220 patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Outcome measures

Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the results of an initial peritoneal equilibration test performed within 3 months of starting PD therapy: group 1 consisted of low/low average transporters (n=123), and group 2 consisted of high/high average transporters (n=97). We genotyped TIE2 and IL-6 polymorphisms and analysed their effects on baseline transport status.

Results

The genotype AT in IL-6 Rs13306
