Low serum butyrylcholinesterase is independently related to low fetuin-A in patients on hemodialysis: a cross-sectional study

Purpose Fetuin-A, which plays a protective role against the atherosclerosis and progression of vascular calcification, is decreased in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Fetuin-A and serum butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) levels decrease during malnutrition. We explored whether BChE was independently relate...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose Fetuin-A, which plays a protective role against the atherosclerosis and progression of vascular calcification, is decreased in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Fetuin-A and serum butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) levels decrease during malnutrition. We explored whether BChE was independently related to fetuin-A in patients on HD. Methods Laboratory data including BChE and serum fetuin-A were acquired from 230 patients on HD between August 2017 and April 2018. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). Abdominal aortic calcification index (ACI) was measured using computed tomography. Patients were stratified into two groups: low fetuin-A (
