SUMMARY AT A GLANCE: The authors designed a cross-sectional study to investigate plasma vitamin C level in patients with HD and PD (total 382 patients). The results showed that 35.9% patients had severe vitamin C deficiency (<2µg/ml). Vitamin C deficiency was associated with HD. Thus, they concluded that vitamin C deficiency was common in dialysis patients, especially in those treated with HD. ABSTRACT: Aims: We design a cross-sectional study to investigate plasma vitamin C level in patients underwent maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and to explore whether there is a difference in vitamin C deficiency between MHD patients and CAPD patients. Methods: This investigation included 382 dialysis patients without vitamin C supplement before the study. Demographic characteristics, laboratory tests, ascorbic acid and total plasma vitamin C level were measured. A linear regression model was built to explore the association between vitamin C deficiency and dialysis modalities after adjusting age, dialysis vintage, gender, Charlson index, modality of dialysis and hsCRP. Results: The range of plasma vitamin C level was from 0.48 µg/ml to 31.16 µg/ml. 35.9% (n = 137) patients had severe vitamin C deficiency (<2µg/ml). Plasma vitamin C level was inversely associated with age and dialysis vintage. After age and dialysis vintage were adjusted, vitamin C deficiency was associated with MHD. R square for model fitting was relatively low, which implied that there was other vitamin C influencing factor not included in the model. Conclusions: Vitamin C deficiency is common in dialysis patients, especially in patients treated with MHD. © 2012 The Authors. Nephrology © 2012 Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology. |
