Effect of hemoperfusion on micro-inflammation in patients with maintenance hemodialysis / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of hemoperfusion on micro-inflammation in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods Fifty MHD patients (MHD group) and 25 healthy volunteers (control group) were involved in this study.The MHD patients were divided into two groups by random digits tablehemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis group (HP + HD group,25 cases) and hemodialyais group (HD group,25 cases).The plasma levels of micro-inflammatory cytokines including high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis faetor-α (TNF-α ) were measured before and after treatment.Results The plasma levels of hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α in MHD group were significantly higher than those in control group [(6.72 ± 2.63) mg/L vs.(1.35 ± 0.92) mg/L,(348.83 ± 64.41) ng/L vs.(54.49 ±22.47) ng/L,(7.52 ± 3.17) ng/L vs.(2.53 ±0.88) ng/L](P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the plasma levels of hs-CRP,IL-6,TNF-α before treatment between HD group and HP+HD group (P＞0.05),Compared with those in HD group,the plasma levels of hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α after treatment in HP+HD group were significantly decreased [(4.78 ±2.49) mg/L vs.(6.89 ±2.69) mg/L,(260.54 ±56.72) ng/L vs.(357.14 ±56.37) ng/L,(5.36 ±2.41) ng/L vs.(7.49 ±2.87) ng/L] (P <0.05).Conclusion Hemoperfusion improves micro-inflammation in patients with MHD.
