Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hematological parameters like red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) were reported to be associated with inflammation, atherosclerosis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. In this study, we evaluated RDW and MPV along with clinical features in patients with advanced CKD. We also aimed to detect clues for causative relations concerning these parameters, renal function and comorbidities. METHODS: Stage 3-5 CKD patients (627 total) were included (mean age 63.1 years, 48.3% male). Patients with malignancies, cirrhosis, infections, severe anemia, and systemic inflammation were excluded. Patients were evaluated for clinical features and grouped for comparison using median RDW and MPV. Linear regression models were generated to predict potential influences on RDW and MPV. RESULTS: Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 27.3 mL/min/1.73m2. Mean Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score was 5.83 ± 2.06. Patients with high RDW (n = 303) were older with higher CRP and CCI, they also had lower eGFR, hemoglobin, and albumin (P < 0.001 for all). Patients with low MPV (n = 311) had lower eGFR, and platelet counts (P = 0.015 and 0.017). eGFR was negatively correlated with RDW after adjusting for age, gender and comorbidities. In a further adjusted model RDW was associated with CRP, CCI, hemoglobin and albumin (P < 0.05 for all), not with eGFR. MPV was positively correlated with eGFR in our adjusted, and fully adjusted regression models (P = 0.003). CONCLUSION: In this study, we found that high RDW is associated with comorbidity burden, anemia, and inflammatory status in patients with advanced CKD. Meanwhile, low MPV seems to be associated with worse renal function. ©2020 Tottori University Medical Press.
