Biological variation of cardiac troponin in stable haemodialysis patients

Abstract: Long-term biological variation of cTn in stable haemodialysis patients is similar to that in healthy individuals and in patients with stable coronary arterial disease. The low II for cTnI and hs-cTnT in stable haemodialysis patients indicates that population-based decision points are of limited value. Serial measurements are required to detect significant changes in cTn concentrations and support diagnosis of myocardial infarction in these patients.

“…The CVi and RCV observed are close to the weekly (hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI) and monthly (hs cTnT and sensitive cTnI) data previously reported in HD patients [15,16]. They support the need to define different magnitude changes of cTn between HD patients and the general population, especially in absolute values.…”

“…The strengths of this study include serial measurements which allowed us to describe both short (one week) and long-term (12 months) TnT-changes in our cohort. Within-subject and between-subject coefficients of variation were similar to previous studies in HD patients using high-sensitivity TnTassays when comparing short-term estimates (27,28). Unlike most previous studies our study included intervention with an ARB, and patients were well characterized regarding cardiac status (e.g.…”

“…Detection limit is 5 ng/L with a total imprecision of less than 10% at a level of 13 ng/L, and in 616 healthy volunteers, the upper 99th percentile was 13.5 ng/L (25). Analytical within assay coefficient of variation in HD patients is approximately 1.7-6% according to previous studies (26)(27)(28). N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) methodology has previously been described in detail (21).…”

“…That was also seen in our patients since almost all of the study subjects had elevated levels of TnT-hs both pre-and post-dialysis. In one previous study of Mbagayasa et al, designed to evaluate a biological variation of cardiac troponin in stable HD patients, new-generation, serum high sensitivity troponin T was elevated in almost all patients, whereas troponin I was above normal range in only 30% of HD patients [9]. The mechanisms underlying troponin release in CKD include direct myocardial damage from circulating uremic endotoxins and an adverse metabolic milieu, subclinical epicardial or microvascular coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure, "demand" ischemia secondary to volume shifts and hemodynamic stressors during HD [10].…”
