Abstract Background: In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the ability of single and multiple biomarker monitoring to predict adverse outcomes has not been well established. This study determined the prognostic value of multiple biomarkers for all-cause death over 2 years in 399 ESRD patients. Methods: The risk of all-cause death was determined by use of multiple biomarkers based on concentrations for a reference population (normal) and cutoffs based on tertile distributions in the ESRD group. Biomarkers studied included N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; Dade Behring and Roche assays), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT; Roche) and I (cTnI; Dade Behring and Beckman Coulter assays). Relative risks of death were estimated and survival curves computed. Results: A total of 101 deaths occurred during 594 patient-years of follow-up. Increased NT-proBNP concentrations were not predictive of death on the basis of the normal cutoffs. However, tertile analysis of NT-proBNP was significantly predictive of death and had a ROC area under the curve equivalent to or better than any of the other biomarkers. Biomarkers independently predictive of survival were hsCRP (P <0.001, either assay), cTnT (P <0.05), and cTnI (Dade, P <0.05). Two-year mortality rates were 6% (n = 45) with normal hsCRP, cTnI, and cTnT concentrations; 19% (n = 173) with increased hsCRP or cTnT and normal cTnI; 44% (n = 160) with both hsCRP and cTnT increased and normal cTnI; 61% (n = 21) with increased cTnI (Dade) or 47% (n = 74) with increased cTnI (Beckman) regardless of hsCRP or cTnT concentrations. Defined by the normal cutoffs, increased concentrations of biomarkers were present in various proportions of the 399 patients with ESRD: NT-proBNP, 99%; hsCRP, 46% (both Roche and Dade assays); cTnT, 85%; cTnI, 19% (Beckman assay) and 5% (Dade assay). Conclusions: Although mechanisms likely vary for causation, increased plasma hsCRP, cTnT, and cTnI above the cutoffs for our reference (normal) population were all independently predictive of subsequent death in ESRD patients. Tertile analysis for NT-proBNP also demonstrated prognostic value.

Background: In end-stage renal disease (ESRD), troponin T concentrations can be elevated even without cardiac ischaemia, which hampers the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The objectives of our study were to determine the proportion of dialysisdependent ESRD patients without acute coronary syndrome (ACS) but with highly sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels above the 99th percentile upper reference limit and to evaluate the range of hs-cTnT among this population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the haemodialysis (HD) unit of a tertiary hospital in Malaysia from January 2018 to February 2019. Dialysis-dependent ESRD patients were included and those with a recent history of ACS (within 30 days) were excluded. Pre-dialysed serum hs-cTnT levels were measured using Cobas e411. The upper limit of the 99th percentile value for troponin T was 14 ng/L. Results: A total of 150 patients were recruited as study participants. The majority were female (62%) and of Malay ethnicity (94%), and the mean (SD) age was 45.19 (16.36) years old. The hs-cTnT range (min, max) was 11.39–738.30 ng/L and the median (interquartile range [IQR]) of hs-cTnT was 59.20 (83.41) ng/L. Elevated hs-cTnT levels were observed in 149/150 (99%) of the study participants (54/55 [98.2%] of the patients were on HD, and 95/95 [100.0%] of the patients were on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis). Conclusion: This study supports prior research showing that even without ACS, most ESRD patients have elevated concentrations of cardiac troponin. Furthermore, our study illustrates the need to revisit the use of absolute troponin values when making a diagnosis of ACS in ESRD patients.
