Abstract:Objective To explore the association between serum and dialysate soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), procalcitonin (PCT), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and peritoneal dialysis-associated bacterial peritonitis, and to predict the value of bacterial peritonitis related to peritoneal dialysis.Methods From January 2017 to June 2019 in our hospital, 119 patients with suspected peritoneal dialysis-related bacterial peritonitis were selected as the research object, and were divided into a study group (66 patients with bacterial peritonitis) and a control group (53 patients without bacterial peritonitis) according to the clinical diagnosis results. Serum and dialysate sICAM-1, PCT, CA125 levels of the two groups were compared, the correlation between the above indicators and bacterial peritonitis related to peritoneal dialysis was analyzed, and the value of each index to predict bacterial peritonitis related to peritoneal dialysis was explored. Anti-infection treatment was given to the study group, and the levels of serum and dialysate sICAM-1, PCT, and CA125 in infection-controllers and uncontrollers were compared after treatment, and the correlation between the above indicators and infection control was evaluated.Results The levels of sICAM-1, PCT, and CA125 in serum and dialysate of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Serum sICAM-1 level [O^R = 1.123 (95% CI: 1.051, 1.200) ], dialysate sICAM-1 level [O^R = 2.006 (95% CI: 1.352, 2.975) ], Serum PCT level [O^R = 2.134 (95% CI: 1.292, 3.525) ], dialysate PCT level [O^R = 3.025 (95% CI: 1.628, 5.621) ], as well as the level of CA125 in dialysate [O^R = 1.227 (95% CI: 1.065, 1.414) ] were all risk factors for SBP on peritoneal dialysis (all P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of serum sICAM-1 and PCT combined to predict SBP of peritoneal dialysis was 0.898 (95% CI: 0.829, 0.946), which was greater than the AUC predicted by the two alone [0.750 (95% CI: 0.662, 0.824), 0.810 (95% CI: 0.728, 0.876) ]. The best sensitivity and specificity of the combined prediction were 84.85% (95% CI: 0.734, 0.921) and 84.91% (95% CI: 0.719, 0.928). The AUC predicted by the combination of dialysate sICAM-1, PCT, and CA125 for peritoneal dialysis SBP was 0.926 (95% CI: 0.863, 0.966), which was greater than the AUC predicted by each index alone [0.798 (95% CI: 0.714, 0.866), 0.819 (95% CI: 0.738, 0.884), and 0.794 (95% CI: 0.711, 0.863) ]. The best sensitivity and specificity of the combined prediction were 86.36% (95% CI: 0.752, 0.932) and 88.68% (95% CI:0.763, 0.953). The levels of serum, dialysate sICAM-1, PCT, and dialysate CA125 of people with infection control were lower than those of people without infection control (P < 0.05).Conclusion With the increase in serum and dialysis fluid sICAM-1, PCT, and dialysis fluid CA125 levels, the risk of bacterial peritonitis related to peritoneal dialysis increases. Each index has important value in predicting the occurrence of bacterial peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis, and can assist in clinical evaluation of infection control.
