Introduction

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is one of the most common cardiac abnormalities in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Hypertension, diabetes, increased body mass index, gender, age, anemia, and hyperparathyroidism have been described as risk factors for LVH in patients on dialysis. However, there may be other risk factors which have not been described yet. Recent studies show that renalase is associated with cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to reveal the relation between renalase, LVH in patients under hemodialysis (HD) treatment.

Methods

The study included 50 HD patients and 35 healthy controls. Serum renalase levels and left ventricle mass index (LVMI) were measured in all participants and the relation between these variables was examined.

Findings

LVMI was positively correlated with dialysis vintage and C-reactive protein (CRP) (r = 0.387, p = 0.005 and r = 0.597, p < 0.001, respectively) and was negatively correlated with residual diuresis and hemoglobin levels (r = -0.324, p = 0.022 and r = -0.499, p < 0.001, respectively). There was no significant association of renalase with LVMI in the HD patients (r = 0.263, p = 0.065). Serum renalase levels were significantly higher in HD patients (212 ± 127 ng/mL) compared to controls (116 ± 67 ng/mL) (p < 0.001). Renalase was positively correlated with serum creatinine and dialysis vintage (r = 0.677, p < 0.001 and r = 0.625, p < 0.001, respectively).

Discussion

In our study, LVMI was correlated with dialysis vintage, residual diuresis, CRP, and hemoglobin. LVMI tends to correlate with renalase and this correlation may be significant in studies with more patient numbers. The main parameters affecting renalase levels are dialysis vintage and serum creatinine.
