BACKGROUND: Patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis have accelerated atherosclerosis associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Atherosclerosis is associated with increased arterial stiffness (AS), endothelial dysfunction and elevated oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation. We aimed to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress status, arterial stiffness, hepcidin and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) levels in CAPD patients. METHODS: As a prospective observational study, we analyzed 56 CAPD patients, aged between 30 and 63 years. Serum hepcidin, FGF-21 levels, OS status and AS were determined. Arterial stiffness was measured by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). Oxidative stress status was determined by total antioxidant status, total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI). RESULTS: FMD was negatively correlated with TOS, OSI, hepcidin and FGF-21 (r: -0.313, p: 0.020; r: -0.0331, p: 0.014; r: -0.498, p < 0.001; r: -0.403, p: 0.002, respectively). OSI was positively correlated with hepcidin, parathormone and negatively correlated with FMD (r: 0.278, p: 0.040; r: 0.462, p < 0.001; r: -0.0331, p: 0.014, respectively). CONCLUSION: There are many factors affecting arterial stiffness in CAPD patients. In our study, higher levels of OS status, hepcidin and FGF-21 were independent determinants of arterial stiffness in PD patients. Therefore, definition and improvement of these new parameters will be helpful to reduce the cardiovascular disease risk and mortality in CAPD patients.
