Correlation analysis of serum SAA,YKL-40,HBP and dialysis catheter-associated infection and prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum amyloid A(SAA),chitinase 3-like protein 1(YKL-40),heparin-binding protein(HBP)and dialysis catheter-associated infection and prog-nosis in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients.Methods A total of 124 maintenance hemodialysis pa-tients admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Nanyang City,Henan Province from January 2020 to Octo-ber 2022 were selected as the study subjects.Patients were divided into two groups:an infected group(28 cas-es)and a non-infected group(96 cases)based on whether they had dialysis catheter-related infections.Serum levels of SAA,YKL-40 and HBP were compared between the two groups.The patients were further divided in-to a good prognosis group(98 cases)and a poor prognosis group(20 cases)based on their follow-up after 30 days of treatment.Independent factors affecting the prognosis of MHD patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis.The predictive value of single and combined detection of serum SAA,YKL-40 and HBP on the prognosis of MHD patients was also analyzed.Results Serum levels of SAA,YKL-40 and HBP in the infected group were higher than those in the non-infected group,with statistical significance(t=56.461,7.902,42.037,P<0.05).The levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),procalci-tonin(PCT),serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),SAA,YKL-40 and HBP in the good prog-nosis group were lower than those in the poor prognosis group,with statistical significance(t=3.668,23.009,17.639,6.656,13.821,45.366,7.849,43.443,P<0.05).Logistic analysis showed that CRP,TNF-α,PCT,Scr,BUN,SAA,YKL-40 and HBP were risk factors for poor prognosis in MHD patients(P<0.05).The AUC of serum SAA,YKL-40 and HBP was 0.894,0.749,0.818 and 0.964,respectively,and the combined predic-tion was better than the single prediction(P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of SAA,YKL-40 and HBP in MHD patients with dialysis catheter-associated infection are higher than those in patients without co-infec-tion.The combined detection of SAA,YKL-40 and HBP has good prognostic value in MHD patients.
