Background and aims: We undertook this study to evaluate the relationship between PON1, SOD and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in pediatric patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis and patients in early stages of CKD.
Methods: We carried out an analytical cross-sectional study of 134 children 6-17 years old. We registered anthropometric variables, vital signs, basic biochemical parameters, intact PTH (iPTH), high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), paraoxonase-1; SOD; PON1/HDL-cholesterol and homocysteine. For statistical analyses we used t test, Mann Whitney U test, χ(2), Fisher exact test, linear or logistic regression models, using SPSS v.16.0. p values <0.05 were considered as significant.
Results: There were 66 (49.3%) females; 39 (29.1%) had CKD stages 2-4 (predialysis), 42 (31.3%) on hemodialysis (HD) and 53 (39.6%) on automated peritoneal dialysis (PD). Time from diagnosis was 26 months. Significant differences were observed in mean, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, C-peptide, triglycerides, and HDL-cholesterol as well as PON1/HDL-cholesterol ratio and SOD.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that PON1 and SOD may be predictors for the presence of MetS in pediatric patients under treatment with peritoneal dialysis. The positive correlation observed in PON1/HDL-cholesterol ratio may reflect the protector effect of HDL-cholesterol in patients with CKD according with the modality of treatment.
