[Metabolic consequences of inflammation in kidney failure].
Chronic inflammation is very common in patients on maintenance dialysis. It is associated with an increase of many cytokines (especially: IL-1, IL-6 and TNF alpha). This inflammation leads to hormonal dysregulation (leptin, adiponectin, insulin). Increase in cytokines is associated with a high cardio-vascular morbi-mortality for general population as well as for uremic patients. Many metabolic abnormalities are due to chronic inflammation: protein catabolism, anorexia and many others. Among them, the "metabolic" syndrome includes adiposis, dyslipemia, insulinoresistance and high blood pressure very often present in chronic uremic patients. It is still unknown whether anti-inflammatory treatments would improve inflammation consequences in dialysis.
