Serum Osteopontin Level Is Positively Associated with Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Peritoneal Dialysis

Background: Osteopontin (OPN) is regarded as a proinflammatory and proatherogenic molecule related to atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum OPN and aortic stiffness (AS) of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: OPN and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV)...

description Background: Osteopontin (OPN) is regarded as a proinflammatory and proatherogenic molecule related to atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum OPN and aortic stiffness (AS) of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: OPN and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) were measured by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and a validated tonometry system, respectively. Patients with cfPWV > 10 m/s were designated into the AS group. Results: Twenty-two patients (31.4%) were segregated into the AS group. Multivariate linear and logistic regression analysis showed that OPN was significantly related to cfPWV and was an independent predictor of AS. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that OPN was correlated with AS with an area under the curve of 0.903 (95% CI 0.809–0.961, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Conclusions: For PD patients, the serum OPN level was correlated with cfPWV and could play an important role in the process of AS.
