Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The high incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with moderate renal impairment is not fully explained by traditional atherothrombotic risk factors. Independently from these factors, blood platelet activation may increase the cardiovascular disease risk of patients with mild-to-moderate renal impairment. Blood platelet activation has not been studied in nondiabetic patients with mild-to-moderate renal impairment. Therefore, we measured the extent of platelet activation by means of fluorescence cytometry in 93 nondiabetic patients with MDRD-estimated creatinine clearance ranging from 13 - 63 ml/min/1.73 m2. As platelet activation parameters we used the expression of CD62P (P-selectin), CD 63 (glycoprotein 53), PAC-1 (activated fibrinogen receptor), CD42b (von Willebrand factor receptor) and CD41 (fibrinogen receptor) on the platelet surface membrane. The expression of CD62p, CD63 and PAC-1 was statistically significantly inversely related to the estimated glomerular filtration rate in these patients (standardized b -0.28, -0.32 and -0.39, respectively). We conclude that nondiabetic mild-to-moderate renal impairment is associated with blood platelet activation. Whether this contributes to the increased cardiovascular risk in these patients needs further study.
