The effects of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis on serum homocysteine and C‐reactive protein levels

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to investigate plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, and the relation among them. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was carriedout on 52 HD patients, 26 CAPD patients and a control group of 22 healthy persons. Blood samples were taken from the patients for Hcy and CRP measurements. RESULTS: Serum CRP level was found to be high in 48.1% of HD patients, 69.2% of CA… Show more

“…While our study was conducted at an early stage of the CAPD, Borazan et al's study showed that the average CAPD duration was 17.3 months. [34] In another study, Borazan et al [35] showed that CRP levels were elevated in the beginning and in the third months of the CAPD treatment when compared to control patients. They found no further increase after three months in CRP levels.…”

“…Albumin levels were low in 80.9% of CAPD patients. The Borazan et al study [34] included 16 CAPD and 52 hemodialysis patients. They showed that CRP is elevated in 77.7% of CAPD patients and 48.1% of hemodialysis patients.…”

“…The assumed SD for IL-6 for the power calculation was 2.6 pg/ml (21). The sample size calculation to detect a 25% relative difference in the serum IL-6 concentration at the end of the study between both groups for an ␣ value of 0.05 and a ␤ value of 0.90 showed a need for a minimum of 26 individuals in each group.…”

“…Experimental evidence indicates that serum CRP levels increased during PD (32)(33)(34). Glucose and glucose degradation products in the PD solutions can increase CRP levels of PD patients (35,36).…”
