Association of serum angiopoietin-2 with malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis and valvular calcification syndrome and outcome in peritoneal dialysis patients: a prospective cohort study
Abstract Background To examine serum angiopoietin-2 (Angpt-2) in relation to malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis and cardiac valvular calcification, so-called MIAC syndrome and its predictive role in outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

description | Abstract Background To examine serum angiopoietin-2 (Angpt-2) in relation to malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis and cardiac valvular calcification, so-called MIAC syndrome and its predictive role in outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted in 324 chronic PD patients. Biochemical analysis was performed at baseline for serum angiopoietins, albumin and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and echocardiography was done to detect cardiac valvular calcification. Primary study end points were fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular events and mortality. Results The median of serum Angpt-2 levels was 5.44 ng/mL (interquartile range, 3.41–7.85). Across the three tertiles of serum Angpt-2, a significant trend effect was observed for body mass index, normalized protein catabolic rate, calcium × phosphorus product, hs-CRP, brain natriuretic peptide, lower-density lipoprotein cholesterol, left ventricular ejection fraction, total weekly urea clearance and residual renal function (all p < 0.05). Serum Angpt-2 showed a significant increase across the four groups of patients with increasing components of MIAC syndrome (p < 0.001). There were 77 deaths and 57 cardiovascular events. High serum Angpt-2 was an independent predictor of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in PD patients (p = 0.02), however serum Angpt-2 was not an independent predictor of all-cause mortality (p = 0.3). Conclusions Serum Angpt-2 showed close association with valvular calcification, atherosclerosis, inflammation and malnutrition, having significant independent prognostic value and is useful for cardiovascular event stratification in chronic PD patients. Angpt-2 might be a potential mediator of increased cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing PD treatment. |
