Baseline Soluble Anti-erythropoietin Antibody Level Is an Independent Associated Factor for Follow-Up Erythropoietin Demand in Maintenance Dialysis Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Aims: The aim of this study was to identify the predictive role of baseline anti-erythropoietin (anti-EPO) antibody levels in follow-up EPO demand in maintenance dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods: Baseline routine blood parameters, clinical data, dialysis-related parameters, EPO, anti-EPO antibody, and anti-EPO-receptor antibody were also measured. Differences in the abovementioned variables were compared among four intervals of the EPO demand index (EDI). Further univariate and adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent predictors for higher EPO demand. Results: The predialysis potassium ion concentration was significantly higher in the fourth quartile (Q4) population than in the other three populations (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the anti-EPO antibody level showed significant differences among the four intervals (p = 0.006). The baseline anti-EPO antibody level was correlated with the follow-up EDI (r ² = 0.0377, p = 0.030). Furthermore, the follow-up EDI was significantly higher in the anti-EPO antibody-positive group (p = 0.02). Age (OR = 1.071, p = 0.005), ferritin (OR = 1.001, p = 0.038), potassium ion concentration before dialysis (OR = 2.781, p = 0.012), dialysis duration (OR = 1.025, p = 0.030), and anti-EPO antibody level (OR = 7.694, p = 0.004) were potential predictors for higher EPO demand. After adjustment, age (OR = 1.072, p = 0.026), potassium ion concentration before dialysis (OR = 3.425, p = 0.013), and EPO level (OR = 5.27, p = 0.007) were independent predictors for higher EDI demand. Conclusion: The baseline anti-EPO antibody level combined with an older age and a higher predialysis potassium ion concentration are independent predictors for a higher follow-up EPO demand in maintenance dialysis patients with ESRD.

Project description:Background and objectivesThe mechanisms underlying erythropoietin resistance are not fully understood. Carbamylation is a post-translational protein modification that can alter the function of proteins, such as erythropoietin. The hypothesis of this study is that carbamylation burden is independently associated with erythropoietin resistance.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsIn a nonconcurrent prospective cohort study of incident hemodialysis patients in the United States, carbamylated albumin, a surrogate of overall carbamylation burden, in 158 individuals at day 90 of dialysis initiation and erythropoietin resistance index (defined as average weekly erythropoietin dose [U] per kg body weight per hemoglobin [g/dl]) over the subsequent 90 days were measured. Linear regression was used to describe the relationship between carbamylated albumin and erythropoietin resistance index. Logistic regression characterized the relationship between erythropoietin resistance index, 1-year mortality, and carbamylation.ResultsThe median percent carbamylated albumin was 0.77% (interquartile range=0.58%-0.93%). Median erythropoietin resistance index was 18.7 units/kg per gram per deciliter (interquartile range=8.1-35.6 units/kg per gram per deciliter). Multivariable adjusted analysis showed that the highest quartile of carbamylated albumin was associated with a 72% higher erythropoietin resistance index compared with the lowest carbamylation quartile (P=0.01). Increasing erythropoietin resistance index was associated with a higher risk of death (odds ratio per unit increase in log-erythropoietin resistance index, 1.69; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 2.70). However, the association between erythropoietin resistance index and mortality was no longer statistically significant when carbamylation was included in the analysis (odds ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.87 to 2.37), with carbamylation showing the dominant association with death (odds ratio for high versus low carbamylation quartile, 4.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 17.10).ConclusionCarbamylation was associated with higher erythropoietin resistance index in incident dialysis patients and a better predictor of mortality than erythropoietin resistance index.

Project description:ObjectiveSerum albumin is a marker of malnutrition and inflammation and has been demonstrated as a strong predictor of mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Yet, whether serum albumin levels in late-stage CKD are associated with adverse outcomes after the transition to ESRD is unknown. We hypothesize that lower levels and a decline in serum albumin in late-stage CKD are associated with higher risk of mortality and hospitalization rates 1 year after transition to ESRD.Design and methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 29,124 US veterans with advanced CKD transitioning to ESRD between 2007 and 2015. We evaluated the association of pre-ESRD (91 days before transition) serum albumin with 12-month post-ESRD all-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortalities and hospitalization rates as well as the association of 1-year pre-ESRD albumin slope and 12-month post-ESRD mortality using hierarchical multivariable adjustments.ResultsThere was a negative linear association between serum albumin and all-cause mortality, such that risk doubled (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.87, 2.28) for patients with the lowest serum albumin <2.8 g/dL (ref: ≥4.0 g/dL) after full adjustment. A consistent relationship was observed between serum albumin and cardiovascular and infection-related mortality, and hospitalization outcomes. An increase in serum albumin of >0.25 g/dL/year was associated with reduced mortality risk (HR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.63, 0.91) compared with a slight decline in albumin (ref: >-0.25 to 0 g/dL/year), whereas a decline more than 0.5 g/dL/year was associated with a 55% higher risk in mortality (HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.43, 1.68) in fully adjusted models.ConclusionsLower pre-ESRD serum albumin was associated with higher post-ESRD all-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortalities and hospitalization rates. Declining serum albumin levels in the pre-ESRD period were also associated with worse 12-month post-ESRD mortality.
