<![CDATA[Leptin and adiponectin (ADPN) are adipokines with respective pro-atherogenic and anti atherogenic properties. In nonrenalpatients, both hyperleptinemia and hypoadiponectinemia are associated with cardiovascular complication. Relationshipsbetween serum leptin and ADPN in patients with dialysis is not consistently reported.Objective of this study is evaluate relationships between serum ADPN and leptin in patients with dialysis. A cross sectionalstudy was performed in and 54 HD and 22 CAPD patients.Seventy six patients were enrolled this study, M/F 41/76, aged 48.4±11.4 year, BMI 21.4±2.7 kg/m2, haemoglobin (Hb)7.9±1.5 mg/dL, blood sugar 94.8±33.5 mg/dL, albumin 4.1±0.4 g/dL, total-cholesterol 177.9±46.3 mg/dL, triglyserida 164.4±104.8mg/dL, SC 14.3±3.8 mg/dL, TNF 14.40±7.43 pg/mL, ADPN 17.6±7.6 µg/mL, leptin 13068±23589 µg/mL (log leptin 3.7±0.59µg/ml). Using Spearmans rho analysis there were negative correlation between log-leptin and ADPN (r= -0.39, p= 0.00), andpositive correlation between log leptin and Hb (r= 0.25, p= 0.04), insulin(r= 0.44, p = 0.00), total-cholesterol (r= 0.34, p = 0.003),triglyserida (r= 0.41, p= 0.00), and BMI (r= 0.41, p= 0.00), but there was no correlation between log-leptin and albumin, bloodsugar, SC and TNF alfa. Using multiple regression to analyze relationship between ADPN and leptin, insulin, Hb, and dialysismodality, we found log leptin independently correlated with ADPN (B= -0.402, p= 0.01, 95%CI B: -1.24 to -0.32). Using multipleregression to analized relationship between ADPN with log-leptin, BMI, total cholesterol, and triglyserida, we found log leptin(beta= -0.3, p= 0.01, 95%CI B: -0.98 to -0.13) and triglyserida independently correlated with ADPN (beta= -0.5, p= 0.00, 95%CIB: -0.008 to -0.003).Serum leptin and triglyseride relate with ADPN. Some metabolic parameters such as insulin resistance, anemia, dialysismodality, nutritional status (BMI and total cholesterol) have indirect relationship with ADPN may be through leptin secretion.]]>
