Overview

Objective:
To explore the relationship of metabolic syndrome (MS) to the prognosis of hemodialyzed patients – all-cause mortality and hospitalization rate.

Design:
prospective cohort study.

Material and Methods:
117 HD patients (median of age=67 years, BMI=24.9 kg/m2, 62 males) were divided into two groups by the occurrence of MS (60 patients with MS) and prospectively monitored for five years. Exclusion criterion: CRP level>100 mg/l, malignancy. Beside the role of the MS, the impact of several laboratory markers (CRP, albumin, adiponectin, asymmetric dimethylarginine) on mortality has been evaluated.

Results:
66 patients died during the follow-up period (56 %, 34 pts. with MS). No relationship was found between the MS and all-cause mortality (log-rank p=0.6). However, distinction emerged in the analysis of hospitalizations. Patients with MS were hospitalized more frequently and for a longer time period (1.24 vs. 0.91 events per person-year (py); 17.66 vs. 14.05 days per py; both p<0.05). These patients experienced almost twofold higher risk of hospitalization from a cardiovascular cause (adjusted Cox model, HR=2.25, p<0.01). Among the laboratory parameters, only albumin proved as significant predictor of mortality (adjusted Cox model, HR=0.94, p<0.05).

Conclusion:
We observed an insignificant MS impact on all-cause mortality. However, the MS concept may be useful in predicting the risk of complications in hemodialysis patients.

Keywords:
metabolic syndrome, kidney failure – chronic, hemodialysis, mortality, hospitalization.
