Effect of dialysis treatment modalities on non- traditional cardiovascular risk factors in end stage renal failure patients

SUMMARYCardiovascular diseases are the morbidity and mortality cause in chronic renaldiseases. Non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors and dialysis treatment modalitieseffects? on these risk factors are concerned in this study.Non-traditionalcardiovascular risk factors in end stage renal diseasese are ;chronic renal diseasetype( Diagnosis), decreased GFR, proteinuria, renin angiotensin system activity,volume over load, abnormal Ca-P metabolism, dyslipidemia, anemia, malnutrition,inflamation, infection, thrombogenic factors, oxidative stres, hyperhomocysteinemia,ureamic toxins.Total 80 ; 40 continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis ( CAPD) and 40Hemodialysis patients in Hemodialysis unit of Dicle University Faculty of MedicineHospital were studied. Non-traditional risk factors; anemia ( hemoglobin), (Ca, P, Cax P and PTH) abnormal Ca-P metabolism, (CRP) inflamation, (Urea) decreasedglomerular filtration rate, (Fibrinogen ) thrombogenic factors, (plasma homocysteinelevels) Hyperhomocysteinemia, and (Ferritin ) iron over load, Left atrial dimension(LAD) extracelular volume load , (alb,Cr, urea,total cholesterol, ) malnutrition werestudied.Homocysteine levels, BUN, LAD were high in hemodiaysis patients. Albumin levelsare low in CAPD patients and fibrinogen level were higher in this group. Non traditinalrisk factors also have to be defined in chronic renal disease patients? follow up andmanagement because they have an important role in cardiovascular disease in thesepatientsKEY WORDS; Non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors, continous ambulatoryperitoneal dialysis ( CAPD), Hemodialysis
