Psychiatric disorders, body mass index and C-reactive protein in dialysis patients

Abstract: Depressive and anxiety disorders were common in dialysis patients and were associated with impaired HRQoL, while prevalence of somatoform disorders was low. A strong correlation between psychiatric comorbidity, CRP and BMI indicates that special attention should be given to patients with CRP≥6 mmol/L and BMI≤21 kg/m(2).

“…30 A relationship between BMI, serum albumin, and DS has been previously described. 31,32 However, the present study does not corroborate those findings. Our results only suggest a protective effect of lean body mass against all-cause mortality.…”

“…In a study by Preljevic et al, dialysis patients with a CRP level !6 mmol/L were found to have four times higher odds of having depressive and/or anxiety disorder. 33 Also, Dogan et al reported a significant correlation between Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores and CRP. 34 Although these findings are in concordance with our results, further studies are needed to clarify the potential relation between inflammation and anxiety specifically for PD patients.…”

“…Three general routes are suggested in this regard; the effect of depression on inflammation; the effect inflammation on depression; and also the bidirectional relationship. [1] The studies on patients with coronary artery disease,[26] dialysis patients[2728] and patients with fibromyalgia,[29] have indicated a relationship between anxiety/depression severity and serum levels of CRP. In patients with symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, serum level of CRP has been significantly associated with anxiety and depression severity, and patients with combined mood disorder had the highest CRP levels.…”
