BackgroundPatients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) often have inflammation and dyslipidemia that accelerate to atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate chronic inflammation and dyslipidemia in CAPD patients.MethodsWe measured inflammatory markers and lipoprotein subclasses in 20 CAPD patients (12 men and 8 women, aged 59.5 ± 9.9 y) and 20 gender-matched controls. Lipoproteins were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an anion-exchange column.ResultsHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A protein (SAA) were higher among CAPD patients vs. controls (1.6 ± 2.2 vs. 0.8 ± 1.2 mg/l, p < 0.05; 11.9 ± 12.8 vs. 4.5 ± 2.4 mg/l). HPLC analysis revealed that chylomicron, VLDL, and IDL cholesterol levels were higher among CAPD vs. controls. In contrast, HDL cholesterol was lower among CAPD patients vs. controls. In the subgroup analysis, SAA levels were significantly lower among patients receiving CAPD for > 3 y than among controls. However, IDL cholesterol was consistently higher among CAPD patients vs. controls.ConclusionsCAPD patients have chronic inflammation and dyslipidemia. IDL cholesterol is the only lipoprotein subclass that is consistently elevated regardless of CAPD duration. More attention should be paid to dyslipidemia in the management of the CAPD patients.
