Background: Patients with high peritoneal permeability
have the greatest degree of inflammation on continuous ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis (CAPD), which may be associated with their higher mortality.
Nocturnal intermittent peritoneal dialysis (NIPD;"dry day") may
decrease inflammation by reducing the contact between dialysate and peritoneum
and/or providing better fluid overload control. Therefore, the aims of this
study were to determine and compare serum and dialysate concentrations of
C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor
alpha (TNF-
) of patients with high or high-average peritoneal transport
on CAPD, changed to NIPD, and ultimately to continuous cyclic peritoneal
dialysis (CCPD).
Methods: Crossover clinical trial in 11 randomly selected
patients. All subjects had been on CAPD and were changed to NIPD, and
ultimately to CCPD (6.4 ± 3.1 months after initiation of study). All
patients used glucose-based dialysate. Evaluations of clinical and biochemical
parameters, dialysis adequacy, and serum and dialysis inflammation markers
were performed at baseline on CAPD, 7 - 14 days after changing to NIPD, 7 - 14
days after switching to CCPD, and after 1 year of follow-up. All patients used
only 1.5% glucose dialysate during evaluation days. CRP was determined by
nephelometry, and IL-6 and TNF-
by ELISA.
Results: Seven patients were high transporters and 4 high
average. Ultrafiltration increased (p < 0.05) when patients
changed from CAPD [0.38 L (-0.3 - 1.1 L)] to NIPD [2.64 L (0.7 - 4.7 L)]; it
then decreased on CCPD [0.88 L (0.4 - 1.3 L) and at the end of study [0.65 L
(0.3 - 1.0 L)]. This better fluid overload control was accompanied by
decreased weight and systolic and diastolic blood pressure when patients
changed from CAPD (89 ± 13 kg, 160 ± 23 and 97 ± 9 mmHg,
respectively) to NIPD (86 ± 17 kg, 145 ± 14 and 86 ± 9
mmHg, respectively), and increased weight and systolic and diastolic blood
pressure on CCPD (85 ± 15 kg, 143 ± 23 and 88 ± 14 mmHg,
respectively) and at the end of follow-up (87 ± 16 kg, 155 ± 24
and 89 ± 12 mmHg, respectively). Median serum CRP decreased (p
= 0.03), from 3.8 (1.6 - 8.5) mg/L on CAPD to 1.0 (0.4 - 4.4) mg/L on NIPD,
but increased on CCPD [1.8 (1.3 - 21) mg/L] and at the end of the study [3.2
(0.3 - 8.2) mg/L]. Dialysate CRP decreased nonsignificantly, from 0.10 (0 -
0.5) mg/L on CAPD to 0 (0 - 0.03) mg/L on NIPD, to 0.01 (0 - 0.08) mg/L on
CCPD, and to 0 (0 - 0) mg/L at final evaluation. Serum TNF-
concentration decreased, from 0.14 (0.04 - 0.6) pg/mL on CAPD to 0.01 (0 -
0.08) pg/mL on NIPD, and then increased to 0.06 (0 - 0.4) pg/mL on CCPD and to
0.11 (0 - 0.2) pg/mL at the end of the study; whereas dialysate TNF-
decreased, from 0.08 (0.03 - 0.2) pg/mL on CAPD to 0.04 (0 - 0.2) pg/mL on
NIPD, and to 0 (0 - 0) pg/mL and 0 (0 - 0.05) pg/mL on CCPD and final
evaluation respectively. Serum IL-6 decreased (p = 0.07), from 2.5
(2.0 - 4.2) pg/mL on CAPD to 1.0 (0.7 - 2.0) pg/mL on NIPD, and to 1.0 (0.8 -
2.9) pg/mL on CCPD and 1.0 (0.5 - 9.8) pg/mL at the end of the study; whereas
dialysate levels remained similar on CAPD [8.0 (3.7 - 13) pg/mL] and NIPD [7.8
(5.1 - 23) pg/mL], and increased on CCPD [11.2 (9.5 - 19) pg/mL] and at final
evaluation [11.2 (8.3 - 15) pg/mL].
Conclusions: NIPD significantly decreased serum CRP and
displayed a trend to decrease TNF-
and IL-6 serum concentrations
compared with CAPD; whereas CCPD tended to reverse these effects. These
results did not appear to be due to decreased local peritoneal inflammation,
but they could be associated with better control of fluid overload on NIPD.
Thus, NIPD, as long as the residual renal function allows it, may be useful in
reducing the systemic inflammation of patients with high peritoneal membrane
permeability.
