Background
The aim of this study was to determine the role of endothelial, renal and inflammatory biomarkers in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5-HD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD).
Methods
Plasma levels of biomarkers: kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), N terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), glycated hemoglobin (HgA1C), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), interleukin-18 (IL-18), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), platelet factor 4 (PF4), 25-OH vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), endothelin and endocan were measured in CKD5-HD patients at the Loyola University Ambulatory Dialysis facility. Normal plasma samples (n=50) were used as control.
Results
The HF (+) CKD5-HD patients, as compared to HF (-) CKD5-HD patients, exhibited significantly elevated NT-proBNP (P = 0.0194) and KIM-1 (P = 0.0485). The NT-proBNP in HF (+) CKD5-HD patients was found to correlate with the levels of serum potassium (P = 0.023 | R = -0.39), calcium (P = 0.029| R = -0.38) and PF4 (P = 0.045 | R = -0.35). The KIM-1 in HF (+) CKD5-HD patients was found to correlate with PTH (P = 0.043 | R = -0.36) and 25-OH vitamin D (P = 0.037 | R = 0.36). In comparison to the normal plasma samples the CKD5-HD patient plasma exhibited varying degrees of elevation in all of the parameters studied.
Conclusion
Elevated plasma NT-proBNP and KIM-1 in CKD5-HD and HF (+) CKD5-HD patients suggest that natriuretic peptides and KIM-1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of HF in CKD5-HD patients. Thus profiling of the biomarkers in CKD5-HD may be helpful in the risk stratification and identifying patients with heart failure.
