| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this multicenter prospective cohort study comprising 380 maintenance hemodialysis patients, we investigated the effect of plasma PTX3 levels on all-cause mortality, with a particular focus on nutritional risk. In patients in the high nutritional risk group (GNRI<91.2), a significant correlation was evident between high PTX3 levels (> 6.29 ng/mL)and mortality risk. Plasma PTX3 levels may be a useful biomarker for assessing mortality risk in Japanese hemodialysis patients, especially those with high nutritional risk. Concurrent measurement of other inflammatory markers such as CRP and IL-6 is expected to improve the predictive power of PTX3. Furthermore, the association between CRP and nutritional risk calculated on the basis of GNRI depends on albumin levels, yet PTX3 had a strong association with anthropometric parameters.
