Abstract:Aim To explore changes of serum resistin,serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and their correlation with left heart parameters in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods 60 MHD patients,45 chronic renal failure paitients with non-hemodialysis (non-HD) and 40 healthy controls were selected. Resistin,hs-cTnT and C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined. Left heart function parameters were measured. Results Resistin,hs-cTnT and CRP were significantly higher in MHD patients and non-HD patients compared to healthy controls (all P<0.01). Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD),left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left atrial diameter (LAD) were significantly higher in MHD patients compared to healthy controls (all P<0.01). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and E/A were significantly lower in MHD patients compared to healthy controls (all P<0.01). LVEDD,LVMI and LAD were significantly higher in non-HD patients compared to healthy controls (all P<0.01). LVEF (P<0.05),LVFS (P<0.05) and E/A (P<0.01) were significantly lower in non-HD patients compared to healthy controls. Resistin,hs-cTnT,CRP,LVEDD and LVMI were significantly higher in MHD patients compared to non-HD patients (all P<0.01). Resistin was positively related with hs-cTnT,CRP (all P<0.05) in MHD patients. Resistin,hs-cTnT were positively related with LVEDD,LVMI (all P<0.05),and negatively related with LVEF,LVFS (all P<0.05) in MHD patients. Conclusions Resistin,hs-cTnT and CRP were increasing significantly in MHD patients and non-HD patients. There were correlation of hs-cTnT with left heart function parameters in MHD patients. The higher level of resistin in MHD patients may relate to their microinflammatory status and cardiovascular diseases.
