ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and its correlation with malnutri-tion,anemia. Methods Thirty-eight elderly and 42 young maintenance hemodialysis patients were studied. Blood samples were collected at the day on hemodialysis for the determination of red blood cell(RBC), hemoglobin(Hgb), hematocrit (Hct), transferrin (TF), serum albumin (Alb), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and CRP; and triceps skinfold (TSF), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC) were measured. Results The levels of TSF、AC、AMC、RBC、Hgb、Hct、TF、BUN、SCr、Alb in elderly maintenance hemodialysis pa-tients were lower than those of young patients; but serum CRP was higher( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), The serum-CRP is negatively correlated with hemoglobin(Hgh), hematocrit (Hct) and serum albumin(P <0.01, P <0.01, P <0.05) in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients. Conclusion Serum CRP is the sensitive index which reflecting early malnutrition and micro-inflammation.
