The relationship between TyG, CRP/Alb, 25(OH)D and the prognosis of patients with continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To investigate the relationship between triglyceride glucos (TyG), C-reaction protein/albumin (CRP/Alb), 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] and the prognosis of patients with continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods:A total of 220 CAPD patients in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2017 to March 2020 were prospectively selected and divided into death group and survival group according to the 6-month prognosis. The peritoneal urea clearance index (Kt/V urea), TyG, CRP/Alb, 25(OH)D were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of CAPD patients. The predictive value of TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D on the prognosis of CAPD patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:After 3 months and 6 months of dialysis, the peritoneal Kt/V urea in the death group [(1.21±0.18)ml/(s·1.73 m 2), (1.02±0.14)ml/(s·1.73 m 2)] was significantly lower than that in the survival group [(1.57±0.40)ml/(s·1.73 m 2), (1.49±0.42)ml/(s·1.73 m 2)] (all P<0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of dialysis, the TyG [(8.79±0.86), (9.24±1.03)] and CRP/Alb [(4.98±0.94)×10 -4, (5.14±1.39)×10 -4] in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [(8.03±0.60), (7.26±0.93), (3.57±1.19)×10 -4, (3.07±0.88)×10 -4], while the 25(OH)D [(19.14±2.29)ng/ml, (17.79±3.17)ng/ml] was lower than that of survival group [(22.67±3.03)ng/ml, (24.31±2.51)ng/ml] (all P<0.05). TyG and CRP/Alb at 3 months and 6 months of dialysis were negatively correlated with Kt/V urea, while the 25(OH)D was positively correlated with Kt/V urea (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that Kt/Vurea, TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D were associated with prognosis in the two groups after 3 and 6 months of dialysis (all P<0.05). The AUC of TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D at 6 months of dialysis combined to predict the prognosis of CAPD patients was the highest, which was 0.911. Conclusions:TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D are associated with all-cause mortality in CAPD patients. High TyG and CRP/Alb and low 25(OH)D suggest a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Combined detection of all indicators can effectively predict the prognosis of CAPD, which is convenient for early clinical intervention.

Internet of things follow-up improves blood pressure management in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective:To explore the difference of blood pressure compliance rate in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in the internet of things (IoT) follow-up and conventional care.Methods:CAPD patients from 3 peritoneal dialysis centers from May 2019 to October 2019 were included in this retrospective cohort study. They were divided into IoT group and conventional care group according to the way of follow-up. The difference in blood pressure compliance rate during 1 year of follow-up between the two groups was observed. The primary outcome was defined as the proportion of patients with blood pressure compliance rate≥85%.Results:A total of 75 patients were included in this study, in during 32 patients in IoT group and 43 patients in conventional care group. The comparison of baseline data between the two groups showed that the dialysis age of patients in IoT group was shorter ( P<0.01). After a median of 9(9, 12) months follow-up, the median blood pressure compliance rate was 85.2% (65.2%, 95.1%), and 25 patients (65.6%) in IoT group had met the target of blood pressure compliance rate≥85%, which was significantly higher than that in the conventional care group (17 cases, 39.5%) ( χ2=4.996, P=0.025). The cumulative probability of the target of blood pressure compliance rate≥85% was 97%, 90%, 90% and 52%, respectively in IoT group, while 95%, 86%, 55% and 34%, respectively in conventional care group after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow-up, and the different between the two groups was significant (Log-rank χ2=4.774, P=0.029). Adjusted for age, sex and dialysis age, the multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model showed that serum creatinine level(for every 1 μmol/L increase, HR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000-1.003, P=0.033), follow-up mode (IoT follow-up vs conventional care, HR=0.023, 95% CI 0.003-0.210, P=0.001), follow-up times (for each additional time, HR=0.879, 95% CI 0.823-0.939, P<0.001) and the rate of weight compliance (for each increase of 1%, HR=0.964, 95% CI 0.939-0.991, P=0.008) was the independent influencing factors for the blood pressure compliance rate<85%. The results of subgroup analysis showed that patients with shorter dialysis age (<10 months) and in the centers where the nurses finished the PD follow-up work as part-time job had better blood pressure control in IoT follow-up. Conclusions:IoT follow-up is helpful to improve CAPD patients' blood pressure compliance rate. Elevated serum creatinine level at baseline is the independent risk factor associated with poor blood pressure compliance. However, IoT follow-up, more follow-up times and the elevated rate of weight compliance are the protective factors for blood pressure compliance. IoT follow-up mode is more recommended for patients with short dialysis age and for dialysis centers where most of the nurses are part-time.

The inflammatory state and protein-energy wasting in the maintenance peritoneal dialysis population / 重庆医学

Objective To investigate micro-inflammatory state and protein-energy wasting (PEW) states in maintenance peritoneal dialysis(MPD) patients,then analysis of the correlation between them.Methods Ninty-six cases of MPD patients in this Hospital were selected from March 2012 to September 2015.The status of nutrition were assessed by Quantitative Subjective and global Assessment(SGA),malnutrition-inflammation score(MIS) and albumin(Alb),micro-inflammatory state was assessed by enzyme-linked immunoassay(ELISA) method serum hypersensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6).At the same time,various serological markers like serum Alb,serum total protein(TP),serum prealbumin(PA),hemoglobin(Hb),transferrin(TF),serum creatinine(Scr),urea nitrogen(BUN),cholesterol(Teh) were measured.Results The incidence of PEW in MPD patients was 36.50％,among which 62.86 ％ of them were over 65 years old,57.10％ were over 2 years of dialysis time and 40.00％ with diabetic nephropathy.MPD patients with hs-CRP＞5 mg/L accounted for 58.33％,of which over 65 year old accounted for 42.86％,MPD age longer than 2 years accounted for 60.71％,32.14％ of them with diabetic nephropathy.The proportion of diabetic nephropathy,average age,dialysis duration time,hs-CRP,TNF-α and IL-6 in PEW group were higher than non-PEW group(P＜0.05);BM,TP,Alb,PA,Hb,TCh,MAC and MAMC were lower ban non-PEW group(P＜0.05).Compared with the hs-CRP≤5 mg/L group,average age,the time of dialysis duration,TNF-α,IL-6 were higher and TP,Alb,PA,TF,Hb,the proportion of Kt/V≥1.72 were lower in the hs-CRP＞5 mg/L group.After the correction of age,sex,dialysis ages,it was found that the level of hs-CRP in MPD patients was negatively correlated with the level of Alb,PA,TF,Tch,Scr,TG;The level of IL-6 was negatively correlated with the levels of Alb,PA,TF,Tch,TG.The level of TNF-α in MPD patients showed different degrees of negative correlation with the leves of Alb,PA,TF,TG,Tch(all P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that elderly,the time of dialysis duration,the microinflammatory state,and hypoalbuminemia were the independent risk factors of PEW.Conclusion PEW and micro-inflammatory state are very common in PHD patients.Patients with longer duration of dialysis,elderly or associated with diabetic nephropathy are more likely to suffer PEW and micro-inflammatory.Elderly,the time of dialysis duration,microinflammatory state,hypoalbuminemia are the independent risk factors of PEW.

Treadmill exercise-induced E/e' elevation as a predictor of cardiovascular event in end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Diastolic dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular (CV) events in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). However, conventional measurement of LA volume and E/e' using Doppler echocardiography has been limited to predict CV events in patients with ESRD on CAPD. METHODS: From September 2007 to September 2008, 30 consecutive patients with exertional dyspnea in ESRD on CAPD and normal systolic function was prospectively enrolled and underwent laboratory testing, coronary angiography, and treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (TESE). We divided the patients according to the presence of exercise-induced change of E/e' tissue Doppler and investigated whether this factor predicted CV events in ESRD on CAPD. RESULTS: Mean CAPD duration of all patients (70% male; mean age, 49 years) was 12 months. Patients with exercise-induced elevated E/e' (n = 12, 40%) and non-elevated E/e' (n = 18, 60%) demonstrated similar baseline characteristics. Exercise-induced elevated E/e' was predictable (cut-off value 14%, sensitivity 63%, and specificity 95%), with a hazard ratio of 1.13 (confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.24; p = 0.005), and significantly associated with CV events compared to the non-elevated E/e' group (log-rank, p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Exercise-induced elevated E/e' determined using TESE might be feasible to predict CV events in patients with ESRD on CAPD.

Objetivos: Verificar quem escolhe modalidade dialítica, e quais variáveis refletem a percepção dos pacientes e equipe de saúde sobre o tratamento. Métodos: O estudo foi realizado em três clínicas de HD e uma de diálise peritoneal (DP). Participaram 220 pacientes, 69,5% em HD e 30,5% em DP. Incluídos pacientes voluntários em tratamento de 90 dias a 2 anos. Dos 54 profissionais de saúde, 18,5% eram médicos, 20,4% enfermeiros e 61,1% técnicos de enfermagem. Foram aplicados dois questionários: um aos profissionais e outro aos pacientes. Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes teve sua modalidade dialítica escolhida pelos médicos: 76,3%. A maioria recusa uma mudança de tratamento tanto na HD (83%) quanto na DP (92,5%). Os pacientes em DP associaram a sua modalidade a maior segurança no tratamento (p = 0,041), bem-estar (p = 0,002), manutenção de uma vida normal (p = 0,002), liberdade (p < 0,001), ânimo (p = 0,021). HD percebe a DP como proporcionando maior liberdade (p = 0,003), autonomia (p < 0,001) e ânimo (p = 0,019). Na avaliação da equipe médica e de enfermagem das variáveis clínicas e psicossociais, os profissionais indicaram em maior frequência os fatores referentes à qualidade de vida (p = 0,007), bem-estar psicossocial (p = 0,007) e bem-estar clínico (p = 0,004) quando associaram a terapia com a DP. Conclusões: A escolha da modalidade dialítica foi decisão exclusivamente dos médicos em 76,3% dos casos. A DP foi considerada pelos profissionais como melhor terapia dialítica no que diz respeito à qualidade de vida, bem-estar clínico e psicossocial.

Abstract Introduction: Among the dialysis modalities, there is a prevalence of hemodialysis (HD). Objectives: To verify who chooses the dialysis modality and which variables reflect the perception of patients and health care team about treatment. Methods: The study was conducted at three clinics of HD and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Two hundred and twenty patients participated in the study, of whom 69.5% were on HD and 30.5% on PD. Included voluntary patients on treatment from 90 days to 2 years, with. Of the 54 health workers, 18.5% were doctors, 20.4% nurses and 61.1% nurse technicians: Two questionnaires were applied: one for professionals and one for patients. Results: Most patients had their modality of dialysis chosen by doctors: 76.3%. Most patients rejected a change of treatment in both HD (83%) and PD (92.5%). There was a significant association by PD patients of their modality with greater safety (p = 0.041), well-being (p = 0.002), near normal life (p = 0.002), freedom (p < 0.001) and high-spirits (p = 0.021). HD patients perceive PD as allowing more freedom (p = 0.003), autonomy (p = 0.001) and high spirits (p = 0.019). In assessing the medical and nursing staff for clinical and psychosocial variables, professionals indicated a greater frequency for variables related to quality of life (p = 0.007), psychosocial well-being (p = 0.007) and clinical well-being (p = 0.004) when associated with PD therapy. Conclusions: The choice of dialysis modality was a decision solely of doctors in 76.3% of cases. PD was considered by the health care team as the best modality therapy with regard to quality of life, clinical and psychosocial well-being.

Objective To observe the effects ofShenkang bolt on the IL-10 and IL-6 of patients with continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).MethodsA total of 60 patients with CAPD were divided into the control group (n=30) andShenkang bolt observation group (n=30). The control group was treated with convertional treatment of CAPD, low salt, low fat, low phosphorus and high quality diet. The observation group was treated withShenkang bolt based on control group treatment. The clinic effect was detected after treatment for 8 weeks. The serum creatinine was determinated by basic picric acid method, and blood urea nitrogen was determinated by urease test. The clinic and biochemical indicator of Scr, BUN, 24h urine volume, Kt/Vurea, RRF, and ultrafiltration volume were compared between the two groups. The IL-10 and IL-6 were detected by ELISA analysis.Results After treatment, IL-10 (19.56 ± 4.38μg/mlvs. 8.98 ± 2.05μg/ml,t=4.392,P<0.01) was significantly higher in observation group than that in control group, and IL-6 (21.82 ± 3.57μg/mlvs. 49.66 ± 5.26μg/ml,t=5.264,P<0.01) was significantly lower in observation group than that in control group. The RRF (7.86 ± 2.12vs. 5.31 ± 1.62;t=2.436, P=0.046) and ultrafiltration volume (421.37 ± 81.61 ml/dvs. 321.23 ± 71.94 ml/d;t=2.617, P=0.038) was significantly higher in observation group than those in control group. ConclusionShenkang bolt could help patients with CAPD balancethe immune, suppress inflammation and improve the RRF and ultrafiltration volume.

The influence of dialysis treatment on insulin resistance in patients with end-stage renal disease / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To compare the effect of two different dialysis modalities, hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) on insulin resistance in patients with adult end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and to identify the possible predictive factors for insulin resistance. Methods Fifteen non-diabetic patients with ESRD (ESRD group) were selected. Eight patients were treated with HD (HD group), and 7 patients were treated with CAPD (CAPD group). The insulin inhibition was examined by hyper insulin-euglycemic glucose clamp technique before and after dialysis treatment, and the glucose disposal rate (GDR) was used as an index of insulin sensitivity during the clamp technique. Meanwhile, 8 healthy controls were selected as control group. The biochemical parameters which might be associated with insulin resistance were determined by multiple linear regression. Results The GDR in control group was (9.93 ± 1.33) mg/(kg · min), in ESRD group was (6.44 ± 1.76) mg/(kg·min), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The GDR in HD group after treatment was increased from (6.53 ± 1.84) mg/(kg · min) to (9.74 ± 2.88) mg/(kg · min), and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). The GDR in CAPD group after treatment was increased from (6.35 ± 1.65) mg/(kg·min) to (8.18 ± 1.76) mg/(kg·min), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression result showed that the levels of urea nitrogen, hematocrit and bicarbonate were significant predictive factors in insulin resistance (P<0.05). Conclusions CAPD and HD therapy can improve insulin resistance in adult patients with ESRD.

The effects of losartan potassium and simvastatin combination therapy on oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis / 天津医药

Objective To explore the effects of losartan potassium and simvastatin combination therapy on oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis through 12 weeks observation. Methods Diabetic patients with end-stage nephropathy (n=80) who were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were randomly divided into two groups:control group who received routine treatment (n=40), treatment group who were given losartan potassium 50 mg, once per day and simvastatin 20 mg, once every night (n=40). HbA1C, Insulin dosage, Oxidative stress indicators(SOD, GSH-PX, MDA and Hcy)were compared between two groups before and after peritoneal dialysis. Results There was no significant difference of HbA1C between the 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). The insulin doses increased be?fore dialysis in both groups after CAPD treatment. It is lower in the treatment group than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of GSH-PX and SOD in treatment group were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower after treatment. The expressions of GSH-PX and SOD were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower in treat?ment group than those in control group when comparing the same time point(P<0.05). GSH-PX expression level was lower while the expressions of MDA and Hcy were higher after dialysis than those before dialysis in control group ( P<0.05). Con?clusion Losartan potassium combined with simvastatin treatment can improve curative effect and oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Benefits of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) technique with one icodextrin-containing and two biocompatible glucose-containing dialysates for preservation of residual renal function and biocompatibility in incident CAPD patients.

In a prospective randomized controlled study, the efficacy and safety of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) technique has been evaluated using one icodextrin-containing and two glucose-containing dialysates a day. Eighty incident CAPD patients were randomized to two groups; GLU group continuously using four glucose-containing dialysates (n=39) and ICO group using one icodextrin-containing and two glucose-containing dialysates (n=41). Variables related to residual renal function (RRF), metabolic and fluid control, dialysis adequacy, and dialysate effluent cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were measured. The GLU group showed a significant decrease in mean renal urea and creatinine clearance (-Δ1.2 ± 2.9 mL/min/1.73 m(2), P=0.027) and urine volume (-Δ363.6 ± 543.0 mL/day, P=0.001) during 12 months, but the ICO group did not (-Δ0.5 ± 2.7 mL/min/1.73 m(2), P=0.266; -Δ108.6 ± 543.3 mL/day, P=0.246). Peritoneal glucose absorption and dialysate calorie load were significantly lower in the ICO group than the GLU group. The dialysate CA125 and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the ICO group than the GLU group. Dialysis adequacy, ß2-microglobulin clearance and blood pressure did not differ between the two groups. The CAPD technique using one icodextrin-containing and two glucose-containing dialysates tends to better preserve RRF and is more biocompatible, with similar dialysis adequacy compared to that using four glucose-containing dialysates in incident CAPD patients.

Reducing peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis rate.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis is an important negative risk of peritoneal dialysis. Peritonitis results when organisms enter the normally sterile peritoneal space, and the peritoneal immune system is unable to prevent the proliferation of the organisms. METHODS: The process of reducing the rate of peritonitis includes identification of the need for reducing peritonitis, identification of the cause of the high peritonitis rate through root cause analysis, and intervention. RESULTS: Interventions vary depending upon the type of organism causing peritonitis. Nonenterococcal gram-positive peritonitis and Pseudomonas peritonitis are related to contamination and are potentially preventable; enteric peritonitis is difficult to prevent. CONCLUSION: The rate of peritonitis can be reduced through a strong continuous quality improvement team because the majority of peritonitis episodes can be prevented.

A Case of Egg-Shell Calcification of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patient with Sclerosing Encasulating Peritonitis

Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD), a common complication in patients with end-stage renal disease, is characterized by more than three kidney cysts and normal or decreased sizes of both kidneys without any familial history of cystic kidney disease. In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), however, both kidneys are usually enlarged. Extrarenal manifestations are common in ADPKD, including hepatic cysts, seminal vesicle cysts, mitral valve prolapse. A 40-year-old man presented to the emergency clinic at Inha University Hospital with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for 3 days. He had been undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for 15 years, but it was recently changed to hemodialysis owing to sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP). Radiologic imaging studies revealed bilateral enlarged kidneys with multiple eggshell calcified cysts and some hepatic cysts, which suggested ADPKD. He underwent left nephrectomy, and pathological tests revealed ACKD-associated renal cell carcinoma (RCC) confined to the resected kidney. He was treated with steroids for SEP, and the symptoms resolved. We herein report a case of ACKD-resembling ADPKD-that progressed to RCC in a patient with concurrent SEP who had been undergoing CAPD for 15 years.

Benefits of a Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) Technique with One Icodextrin-Containing and Two Biocompatible Glucose-Containing Dialysates for Preservation of Residual Renal Function and Biocompatibility in Incident CAPD Patients

In a prospective randomized controlled study, the efficacy and safety of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) technique has been evaluated using one icodextrin-containing and two glucose-containing dialysates a day. Eighty incident CAPD patients were randomized to two groups; GLU group continuously using four glucose-containing dialysates (n=39) and ICO group using one icodextrin-containing and two glucose-containing dialysates (n=41). Variables related to residual renal function (RRF), metabolic and fluid control, dialysis adequacy, and dialysate effluent cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were measured. The GLU group showed a significant decrease in mean renal urea and creatinine clearance (-Delta1.2+/-2.9 mL/min/1.73 m2, P=0.027) and urine volume (-Delta363.6+/-543.0 mL/day, P=0.001) during 12 months, but the ICO group did not (-Delta0.5+/-2.7 mL/min/1.73 m2, P=0.266; -Delta108.6+/-543.3 mL/day, P=0.246). Peritoneal glucose absorption and dialysate calorie load were significantly lower in the ICO group than the GLU group. The dialysate CA125 and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the ICO group than the GLU group. Dialysis adequacy, beta2-microglobulin clearance and blood pressure did not differ between the two groups. The CAPD technique using one icodextrin-containing and two glucose-containing dialysates tends to better preserve RRF and is more biocompatible, with similar dialysis adequacy compared to that using four glucose-containing dialysates in incident CAPD patients.

Objective To observe the change of serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.Methods Seventy-four end stage renal disease patients undergoing CAPD more than 3 months (CAPD group) were divided into 2 groups according to clinical symptoms of cardiovascular diseases:CAPD symptoms group (29 cases) and CAPD asymptomatic group (45 cases).Seventy healthy subjects were selected as control group.The serum IMA level and abnormal rate of electrocardiogram and heart color ultrasonic were examined and compared.Results The serum IMA level in CAPD group was significantly higher than that in control group [(92.33 ± 17.17) kU/L vs.(69.63 ± 9.24)kU/L,P＜ 0.01].The serum IMA level in CAPD symptoms group was significantly higher than that in CAPD asymptomatic group [(109.37 ± 21.34) kU/L vs.(85.31 ± 8.58) kU/L,P ＜ 0.05].The elevatory rate of serum IMA level and abnormal rate of electrocardiogram and heart color ultrasonic in CAPD symptoms group were significantly higher than those in C APD asymptomatic group [37.9％ (11/29) vs.15.6％(7/45),62.1％ (18/29) vs.22.2％ (10/45),P ＜0.05].Conclusions The serum IMA level in CAPD patients is elevatory.Serum IMA level is significantly higher in CAPD patients with cardiovascular disease clinical symptoms,it can be used for diagnosis of myocardial damage in CAPD patients.

Validation of cystatin C-based equations for evaluation of residual renal function among patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective To validate cystatin (Cys C)-based equations for evaluation of residual renal function (RRF) in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods Fifty patients on CAPD from our department were enrolled in the study.Eight patients with residual urine volume ≤ 100 ml/d and 42 patients with residual urine volume ＞ 100 ml/d were enrolled into anuria group and non-anuric group respectively.The clinical and laboratory status of each group were compared and equations (Hoek' s,Yang' s and abbreviated MDRD equations) were validated in the non -anuric group by comparing with the arithmetic average of residual renal creatinine clearance rate and residual renal urea clearance rate which was considered as the golden standard for RRF.Results (1) Anuric group had significantly higher serum Cys C than the non-anuric group [(7.73±1.13) mg/L vs (6.46± 1.15) mg/L,t =2.39,P =0.02)].(2) RRF estimated by each equation was correlated well with measured RRF (r =0.56,0.56 and 0.39,all P ＜ 0.05).(3) Yang' s equation [0.10 ml· min1· (1.73 m2)-1]was least biased,followed by Hoek' s equation [-0.73 ml· min-1 · (1.73 m2) 1] and abbreviated MDRD equation [3.15 ml· min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1].(4) The precision of Yang' s equation was equivalent to that of Hoek' s equation and both of them were better than abbreviated MDRD equation [6.2 and 6.1 vs 8.4 ml· min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1].(5) 50％ accuracy according to Yang' s equation and Hoek' s equation revealed an elevated results in comparison to that according to abbreviated MDRD equation (59.5％ and 54.8％ vs 23.8％,respectively,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Serum Cys C-based prediction equations are better than the abbreviated MDRD equation in bias,precision and 50％ accuracy.For patients undergoing CAPD,the use of Cys C-based equation to estimate RRF may be a clinically acceptable alternative.
