Abstract

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is recognized as an effective and economical therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the drop-out and mortality rates of this treatment remain high. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential effects of metabolic status and personality on the prognosis of ESRD patients receiving CAPD. A total of 835 patients (455 men and 380 women) were enrolled in the cross-sectional survey. Analysis of variance and Spearman correlations were used to analyze variables in two groups of ESRD patients: group L (dialysis duration < 3 years) and group H (dialysis duration ≥ 3 years). The variables included gender, age, duration of dialysis, primary diseases, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin, Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, renal function, immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum phosphorus and calcium, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Kt/V, and Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) scores. Levels of DBP, BUN, glucose, CRP, SBP, SGA, TG, LDL, creatinine, iPTH, ESR, and LOT-R scores were significantly higher in group H than in Group L, whereas Hb and Kt/V ...Continue Reading
