Brief Summary: Study on the natural history of uremic retention solutes in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease
Detailed Description: Protein-bound uremic retention solutes are increasingly recognized to play a role in the pathophysiology of the uremic syndrome Numerous in vitro findings are indicative for their implication in the biochemical and physiological changes of uremia Several of these protein-bound retention solutes originate from bacterial protein fermentation in the colon p-cresyl sulfate a fermentation metabolite of the amino acid tyrosine is considered a prototype of this group of uremic solutes The protein binding of this molecule was shown to be about 90 in end-stage renal disease patients Several data have suggested that p-cresol plays a role in the immunodeficiency of uremia Recently a link between the molecule and endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated Also other members of the class of protein-bound solutes have been found to be associated with immune dysfunction endothelial cell dysfunction and closely related to the latter oxidative stress

Free serum levels of p-cresol were shown to be greater in stage 5 chronic kidney disease CKD patients treated with hemodialysis HD hospitalized for infectious disease Furthermore a positive relationship was found between serum total p-cresol level and a uremic symptom score in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis PD whereas a correlation with small water-soluble solutes and the middle molecule β2-microglobulin was absent A recent prospective observational study in stage 5 CKD patients treated with conventional HD 3 x 4 hours per week indicated that the accumulation of p-cresol is a risk factor for overall mortality

Data on the serum concentrations of p-cresol in chronic kidney disease patients are lacking The investigators hypothesise that the serum concentration of p-cresol is an independent predictor of progression to end stage renal disease and is an independent predictor for cardiovascular disease
