  • Association between initial high peritoneal transport property and prognosis of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis

    ObjectivesTo explore the association between initial peritoneal transport characteristics and patient survival, and to evaluate the risk factors for mortality of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.MethodsBetween January 2011 and December 2016, the patients diagnosed with end stage renal disease commencing CAPD in West China Hospital were enrolled. According to the value of dialysate to plasma ratio for creatinine at 4 hour [D/P Cr (4 h)], CAPD patients were divided into two groups: the lower transport group [D/P Cr (4 h)<0.65] and the higher transport group [D/P Cr (4 h)≥0.65]. The survival of these two groups of peritoneal dialysis patients were plotted using survival analysis. CAPD patient outcomes were analyzed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models.ResultsCompared with the lower transporter (n=246), higher transporter (n=345) were older, and with more peritoneal protein loss, lower level of serum albumin, lower level of hemoglobin, and less ultrafiltration (P<0.001). Higher transport group had lower survival rate compared to those in the lower transport group (P=0.001). The 1-, 3- and 5-year patient survival rates were 97.0%, 83.2%, and 71.7% in the higher transport group, and 98.7%, 93.9%, and 86.1% in the lower transport group, respectively. There was a positive relationship between D/P Cr (4 h) and serum peritoneal protein loss (P<0.001). D/P Cr (4 h) was inversely related to serum albumin (P<0.001). Cox regression analysis demonstrated that lower albumin [hazard ratio (HR)=0.921, 95% CI (0.885, 0.958), P<0.001], presence of cardiovascular disease [HR=1.996, 95% CI (1.256, 3.173), P=0.003], elder age [HR=1.049, 95% CI (1.033, 1.065), P<0.001], lower hemoglobin [HR=0.988, 95% CI (0.976, 1.000), P=0.044] and lower urea clearance index (KT/V)[HR=0.680, 95%CI (0.465, 0.994), P=0.046] could independently predicted mortality with significance in CAPD patients. But higher peritoneal transport was not a risk factor for mortality [HR=1.388, 95%CI (0.829, 2.322), P=0.212] in either model including serum albumin.ConclusionsFor CAPD patients, initial higher transporter had a higher mortality than lower transporter. However, initial higher peritoneal transport was not a risk factor for mortality independent of serum albumin in CAPD patients. Relationship between D/P Cr (4 h) and serum peritoneal protein loss and serum albumin suggests that higher peritoneal transport characteristics might worsen prognosis by lowering serum albumin level at initiation of peritoneal dialysis.

  • Investigation of roxadustat compliance and related influencing factors in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis

    ObjectiveTo investigate the status of roxadustat in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis and analyze the factors affecting drug compliance. MethodsPatients with renal anemia undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2020 to March 2021 were selected. All patients took roxadustat orally. According to the medication compliance, the patients were divided into good compliance group and poor compliance group. The general information questionnaire and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) were used to investigate and analyze the included patients, and their clinical examination indexes were collected. ResultsA total of 100 patients were included, Including 39 cases (39%) in the good compliance group and 61 cases (61%) in the poor compliance group. The average score of medication compliance of roxadustat was 5.19±1.72. Logistic regression analysis showed that drug cognition [odds ratio (OR)=0.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.027, 0.365), P=0.001], medication troubles/complex protocol [OR=5.330, 95%CI (1.567, 18.132), P=0.007], and adverse drug reactions [OR=5.453, 95%CI (1.619, 18.368), P=0.006] were factors affecting patient compliance. Hemoglobin in the good compliance group was lower than that in the poor compliance group (Z=−2.259, P=0.024); there was no significant difference in other clinical examination indexes (P>0.05). ConclusionsThe overall compliance of oral roxadustat in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients is poor, and the corresponding follow-up management system should be improved. Nurses should provide comprehensive and systematic medication guidance to patients, encourage them to fully understand the clinical manifestations, treatment schemes and prognosis of renal anemia, clarify the time, dose, possible adverse reactions and mitigation methods of roxadustat, etc., and help them to treat the disease with correct cognition and attitude, so as to improve their drug compliance.
