Abstract

♦ Objective The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the risk factors for decline of residual renal function (RRF) in an incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) population. ♦ Design Prospective observational study of an incident PD cohort at a single center. ♦ Setting Tertiary-care institutional dialysis center. ♦ Participants The study included 146 consecutive patients commencing PD at the Princess Alexandra Hospital between 1 August 1995 and 1 July 2001 (mean age 54.8 ± 1.4 years, 42% male, 34% diabetic). Patients with failed renal transplants ( n = 26) were excluded. ♦ Main Measurements Timed urine collections ( n = 642) were performed initially and at 6-month intervals thereafter to measure RRF. The development of anuria was also prospectively recorded. ♦ Results The mean (±SD) follow-up period was 20.5 ± 14.8 months. The median slope of RRF decline was –0.05 mL/minute/month/1.73 m2. Using binary logistic regression, it was shown that the 50% of patients with more rapid RRF loss (< –0.05 mL/min/month/1.73 m2) were more likely to have had a higher initial RRF at commencement of PD [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.39 – 2.40] and a higher baseline dialysate/plasma creatinine ratio at 4 hours (D/P creat; AOR 44.6, 95% CI 1.05 – 1900). On multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis, time from commencement of PD to development of anuria was independently predicted by baseline RRF [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.81, 95% CI 0.60 – 0.81], D/P creat (HR 2.87, 95% CI 2.06 – 82.3), body surface area (HR 6.23, 95% CI 1.53 – 25.5), dietary protein intake (HR 2.87, 95% CI 1.06 – 7.78), and diabetes mellitus (HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.00 – 2.72). Decline of RRF was independent of age, gender, dialysis modality, urgency of initiation of dialysis, smoking, vascular disease, blood pressure, medications (including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors), duration of follow-up, and peritonitis rate. ♦ Conclusions The results of this study suggest that high baseline RRF and high D/P creat ratio are risk factors for rapid loss of RRF. Moreover, a shorter time to the onset of anuria is independently predicted by low baseline RRF, increased body surface area, high dietary protein intake, and diabetes mellitus. Such at-risk patients should be closely monitored for early signs of inadequate dialysis.
