P0866EVALUATION OF ERYPTOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims One of the many factors in the pathogenesis of renal anaemia, is eryptosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate eryptosis in patients with chronic renal disease stage 3-5 and 5 dialysis (5D). Method Patients with CKD who were monitored in our nephrology department were included in the study. The age range of the patient groups was 18-80 years and haemoglobin levels were <13 g / dl in men and <12 g / dl in women. As parameters of eryptosis, flow cytometric annexin V binding and intracellular calcium, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity with ELISA method were measured in 59 predialysis patient (eGFR<60 mL / min 1.73 m2), 26 haemodialysis patient, 21 peritoneal dialysis patient and 29 healthy volunteers with similar age (control). Haematological and biochemical tests including complete blood count(CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Parathormone (PTH), 25-OH vit D3, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine (Cr), C-reactive protein (CRP), Na, K, phosphor (P), ionized and total Calcium, Ferritin, B12 and Folate, were performed. IBM SPSS Statistics Version 20.0 was used for statistical analysis of the data Results The amount of intracellular calcium were 3.05 ± 1.66 in predialysis group, 2.24 ± 0.99 in haemodialysis group, 2.38 ± 0.87 in peritoneal dialysis group and 1.71 ± 0.46 in control group. For intracellular calcium there was statistically significant difference only between predialysis group and control group (p <0. 000). Annexin V binding were calculated as 1.05 ± 0.99 in predialysis group, 1.15 ± 0.56 in haemodialysis group, 1.06 ± 0.87 in peritoneal dialysis group and 0.88 ± 0.86 in control group. Comparing to control group annexin V binding in predialysis, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis groups, were statistically significantly increased (for all p <0.000). SOD activity was 0.07 ± 0.07 in predialysis group, 0.13 ± 0.08 in haemodialysis group, 0.14 ± 0.07 in peritoneal dialysis group and 0.03 ± 0.01 in control group. The difference between the control group and dialysis group was statistically significant (p <0. 00). Comparing to nonusers; patients using calcium channel blockers (CCB) had low annexin V binding level (p = 0.013). Patients using erythropoietin (EPO) had elevated annexin V binding level (p <0.000) and lower intracellular calcium (p = 0.014) according to non- users. Conclusion We determined increased eryptosis in patients with CKD stage 3-5 and 5D in our study. Inflammation and elevated parathormone were also associated with increased eryptosis. Therefore, eryptosis may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of renal anaemia. Inflammation associated CKD may increase eryptosis. In addition, this effect can be taken into consideration in the planning of treatment because of the lower incidence of eryptosis in patients using calcium channel blocker and EPO.
