ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
High-dose erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) for anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes and do not always improve erythropoiesis. We hypothesized that high-dose ESA requirement would be associated with elevated inflammatory biomarkers, decreased adipokines, and increased circulating, endogenous soluble erythropoietin receptors (sEpoR).METHODS:
A cross-sectional cohort of anemic 32 CKD participants receiving ESA were enrolled at a single center and cytokine profiles, adipokines, and sEpoR were compared between participants stratified by ESA dose requirement (usual-dose darbepoetin-α (< 1 µg/kg/week) and high-dose (≥ 1 µg/kg/week)).RESULTS:
Baseline characteristics were similar between groups; however, hemoglobin was lower among participants on high-dose (1.4 µg/kg/week) vs usual-dose (0.5 µg/kg/week) ESA.In adjusted analyses, high-dose ESA was associated with an increased odds for elevations in c-reactive protein and interleukin-6 (p < 0.05 for both). There was no correlation between high-dose ESA and adipokines. Higher ESA dose correlated with higher levels of sEpoR (rs = 0.39, p = 0.03). In adjusted analyses, higher ESA dose (per µcg/kg/week) was associated with a 53% greater odds of sEpoR being above the median (p < 0.05).CONCLUSION:
High-dose ESA requirement among anemic CKD participants was associated with elevated inflammatory biomarkers and higher levels of circulating sEpoR, an inhibitor of erythropoiesis. Further research confirming these findings is warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00526747.
