Abstract:

Objective

To explore the relationship between serum soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) level and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Methods

A total of 115 patients, who underwent MHD treatment with AVF in our hospital from June 2018 to October 2020, were selected as the research objects. According to whether the patients had AVF stenosis, they were divided into AVF stenosis group (51 cases) and AVF non-stenosis group (64 cases). General data and laboratory indicators were collected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum suPAR level. The factors influencing suPAR level were analyzed by multiple linear regression method. The risk factors of AVF stenosis in MHD patients were analyzed by logistic regression method. The value of serum suPAR in the diagnosis of AVF stenosis in MHD patients was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve method.

Results

Compared with the AVF non-stenosis group, the AVF stenosis group showed significantly higher levels of white blood cell count, red blood cell count, blood creatinine, albumin, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein, and suPAR (P<0.05), but had lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05). Serum suPAR levels in the groups were positively correlated with the white blood cell count, albumin, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the white blood cell count, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, albumin, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein were influencing factors of suPAR level (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that white blood cell count (OR=1.685, 95%CI: 1.024-2.772), PCT (OR=2.059, 95%CI: 1.108-3.825), C-reactive protein (OR=2.316, 95%CI: 1.225-4.380), and suPAR (OR=3.046, 95%CI: 1.583-5.862) were all associated with AVF stenosis in the MHD patients (P<0.05). To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum suPAR for AVF stenosis in the MHD patients, the area under the curve was 0.943 (95%CI: 0.883-0.977), and the cutoff value was 2.59 μg/L with a sensitivity of 90.7% and a specificity of 90.2%.

Conclusion

Serum suPAR might be of value for clinical diagnosis of AVF stenosis in MHD patients.
