    Aim: We aimed to investigate especially early stage non traditional cardiovascular risk factors in end stage renal failure patients who were in Continued Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) programme in our center. Methods: In this study 21 CAPD patients and 21 sex and age matched controls were enrolled. The clinical history and demographic parameters were obtained and than for physical evaluation blood samples were drawn for 12 hours fasting glucose, serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, apoA, apoB, total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, parathormon (PTH), hemoglobin (Hb), Lp(a), C-reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine (tHcy), anticardiolipin antibody (ACLA), fibrinogen. Results: While age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), smoking status and hereditary factors were comparable between the groups, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were significantly higher in CAPD patients. There was no statistical significance between the groups considering mean serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, PTH, Lp(a), tHcy, ACLA Ig M and ACLA Ig G levels. In the present study mean apoA level was significantly lower in the study group, while apoB and phosphorus were higher (p=0.003). Also mean total protein, albumin, calcium, and Hb level were significantly lower, while mean CRP and fibrinogen were higher in the study group (p=0.0003). Conclusion: Because of the high rates of increased risk factors for coronary artery disease in CAPD patients at early stages, these patients should be closely followed for coronary artery disease.

    Positive correlation of CRP and fibrinogen levels as cardiovascular risk factors in early stage of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008) Tekin, Ishak Ozel; Pocan, Bekir; Borazan, Ali; Ucar, Edip; Kuvandik, Guven; Ilikhan, Sevil; Demircan, Nejat
    We aimed to study the relationship between the C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and fibrinogen as cardiovascular risk factors in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, in the early stage of their therapy. The study included 21 CAPD patients as the study group (SG) and age- and sex-matched 21 healthy patients as the control group (CG). History and physical exam data were obtained for all cases, and demographic baseline characteristics were taken. Twelve-hour fasting serum levels of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, CRP, and fibrinogen were obtained. There was no statistically significant difference between the SG and CG in baseline characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking, and family history of cardiovascular disease. However, diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) were significantly more common among the study group. The average total protein, albumin, and hemoglobin levels were significantly lower, and the CRP and fibrinogen levels were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the SG. A positive correlation was seen (r = 0.443, p < 0.05) among CRP and fibrinogen levels in SG. There was no correlation among the other parameters in SG. For CG, there was no correlation seen for any studied parameters. When patients with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD) were compared, no correlation was seen between CRP and other parameters. A positive correlation of CRP and fibrinogen levels as cardiovascular risk factors was shown in early stage of CAPD patients. The CAPD patients with elevated levels of CRP and fibrinogen should receive close follow-up for cardiovascular disease prevention.
