When does the cardiovascular disease appear in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of long-term morbidity and mortality among children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). At which stage of CKD these appear in children is unknown. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in pediatric CKD patients and to explore the relationship of these changes and treatment methods. The study enrolled pediatric patients with stages 1-5 CKD including 20 patients receiving predialysis (PreD), 8 receiving peritoneal dialysis, and 14 receiving hemodialysis. Aortic stiffness, defined as decreased aortic strain (S) and increased pressure strain normalized by diastolic pressure (Ep*), was described. Sonography of the common carotid artery and left ventricle was performed. The mean age of the children was 13.3 + or - 5.3 years. The patients had lower S values (0.35 + or - 0.23) than the control subjects (0.44 + or - 0.2) (P < 0.05) but higher Ep* (2.46 + or - 1.31 vs. 1.32 + or - 0.09; P < 0.05). Aortic stiffness was found in 13 patients. The PreD group had lower As levels than the dialysis group but higher levels than the control group. The patients (n = 32) had greater carotid intima-media thickness than the control subjects (0.58 + or - 0.14 vs. 0.35 + or - 0.12; P < 0.05). The intima-media thickness was greatest in the PreD group (P < 0.05). The patients had a higher left ventricular mass index (LVMI; 42.4 + or - 15.6) than the control subjects (28.8 + or - 8.47) (P < 0.05) and a larger left ventricle end diastolic diameter (LVEDD; 3.44 + or - 0.76 vs. 2.59 + or - 0.34; P < 0.05). Left ventricular hypertrophy was found in 32 patients. Both LVMI and LVEDD were higher in the groups receiving hemodialysis and lower in the PreD group. Increased carotid-intima media thickness and left ventricle hypertrophy appeared without hypertension in the PreD group. The indications and timing of dialysis should be reevaluated for children with CKD. In the dialysis groups, fewer cardiovascular changes were found with peritoneal dialysis than with hemodialysis. Therefore, peritoneal dialysis should be preferable to hemodialysis for children with CKD.
