Background
Anemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is related to serum levels of soluble Fas (sFas), which are associated with resistance to erythropoietin (EPO). The study objeticves to compare clinical data and serum levels of sFas, EPO, and pro- inflammatory markers between non-dialytic CKD patients and healthy individuals. To assess the relationship of serum EPO and sFas between these patients with and without anemia.
Methods
Retrospective study of 58 CKD patients under conservative treatment and 20 healthy individuals. Complete blood count, renal function, serum EPO, sFas, and inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, and IFN-γ) were compared at baseline. We then analyzed these variables between patients who progressed to anemia and those without anemia. We evaluated the frequency of outcomes in these patients with elevated sFas levels. We performed a multivariate analysis of factors associated with anemia.
Results
CKD when compared to healthy individuals had lower eGFR (35.7 ±2.5 vs 89.7 ±3.32 ml/min; p<0.001), and Hb (12.8 ±0.27 vs 14.4 ± 0.25 g/dl; p=0.003), major inflammatory markers, sFas (2894 ±172 vs 1136 ±97pg/ml; p<0.001), and EPO/Hb (8.76 ±1.16 vs 4.90 ± 0.58 IU/mg/dl; p=0.003). CKD with anemia, when compared to non-anemic individuals, had lower eGFR (27.7 ±1.72 vs 54.9 ±5.26; p<0.001) and higher sFas/ eGFR (150.9 ±16.6 vs 45.2 ±9.95; p<0.001), EPO/Hb (10.3 ±1.56 vs 5.12 ±0.69; p=0.04) and sFas (3339 ±181 vs 1820 ±240; p=0.001). We found an independent association in the multivariate analysis of serum sFas levels with long-term renal anemia sFas (OR 4.322, 95% CI, 1464-12.753; p=0.008).
Conclusion
As an elective risk factor, serum sFas levels were independently associated with long-term renal anemia.
