Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly accompanied by inflammation and anemia; however, the pathogenesis of CKD is unclear. Expression of resistin, a cysteine-rich secretory plasma protein, is correlated with the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?, interleukin (IL)-6 and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, indicating that resistin may be involved in inflammatory events. In addition, inflammation inhibits the activity of erythropoietin (EPO) and, thus, erythropoiesis. The aim of the present study was to analyze the correlation between serum resistin and the variability of EPO responsiveness in CKD patients. The levels of serum creatinine (SCr), C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol, triglycerides, IL-6 and serum resistin were measured in the samples obtained from 138 CKD patients and healthy control subjects. The levels of serum resistin in the CKD groups with and without hemodialysis were significantly higher than those observed in the normal control group (P<0.01) and the levels of serum resistin in the hemodialysis CKD group were higher than those observed in the CKD group without dialysis (P<0.01). The levels of serum resistin in patients in the randomly selected CKD group (with hemodialysis) were positively correlated with the duration of dialysis and the levels of SCr and CRP (P<0.05), however, were negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate. The EPO resistance index (ERI) was identified to be associated with body mass index and the levels of CRP and resistin; furthermore, EPO reactivity was correlated with the level of resistin and ERI. The levels of serum resistin were correlated with the variability in EPO responsiveness that was observed in the CKD patients. Therefore, the measurement of serum resistin may aid with understanding the mechanisms, clinical diagnosis and treatment of CKD.
