ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma adiponectin level and microinflammation ,nutrition status in patients undergoing different blood purification treatment .Methods Totally 84 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis over 6 months were randomly assigned to three groups for low‐flux hemodialysis(LFHD)group ,high‐flux hemodialysis(HFHD)group , high‐flux hemodialysis in combination with hemodiafiltration(HFHD+ HDF)group .The baseline and post treatment levels of total protein(TP) ,albumin(Alb) ,prealbumin(PA) ,hemoglobin(Hb) ,`ferritin(FER) ,C reactive protein(CRP) ,potassium(K+ ) ,sodium (Na+ ) ,calcium(Ca2+ ) ,phosphate(P3+ ) ,blood urea nitrogen(BUN) ,creatinine(Cr) ,urea acid(UA) ,intact parathyroid homone (iPTH) ,β2‐microglobulin(β2‐MG) ,cystatin C(Cys C) and adiponectin(ADPN) were compared among three groups .Results Be‐fore the treatment ,the levels of those biochemical indicators were of no significant difference among the three groups .After six months ,plasma ADPN level of HFHD ,HFHD+ HDF increased(P<0 .05) ,and were markedly higher than LFHD(P<0 .05) .In LFHD group ,serum PA ,β2‐MG increased(P<0 .05) after the treatment for six months .In HFHD group ,serum TP ,PA increased , and serum Fer ,CRP ,CysC decreased after the treatment(P<0 .05) .In HFHD+ HDF group ,serum PA ,Hb increased ,and serum Fer ,CRP ,β2‐MG ,Cysc ,BUN decreased after six months(P<0 .05) .After the treatment ,the serum Hb level of LFHD was lower than HFHD ,HFHD+ HDF(P<0 .05);the serum Fer ,CRP ,β2‐MG ,CysC of LFHD were higer than HFHD ,HFHD+ HDF(P<0 .05) .Correlation analysis showed that plasma ADPN level was inversely associated with Fer ,CRP ,CysC ,β2‐MG ,whereas was as‐sociated with PA ,Alb .Conclusion The different ways of hemodialysis could have an effect on the final levels of adiponectin in M HD patients .ADPN can be used as a meaningful indicator of microinflammation ,nutrition status in hemodialysis patients .
