혈액투석 환자에서 혈청 C-reactive Protein 농도에 따른 영양상태의 비교

Serum C-reactive protein(sCRP) is an acute-phase reactant that exhibiting negative correlation with serum albumin concentration. It was reported that sCRP is an independent predictor of survival in both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients, and an acute phase inflammation could be preceded by protein catabolism, hypoalbuminemia, anorexia and even atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We have evaluated serum biochemical parameters including albumin and prealbumin, Kt/Vurea, nPCR, SGA score, anthropometric parameters and diet history in 30 ESRD patients maintained on chronic hemodialysis subdivided by sCRP concentration. Upon comparing the two subgroups[high CRP group(sCRP>0.4mg/dL), n=15 vs. normal CRP group (sCRP
