ABSTRACT

To investigate phospholipids (PLs) biomarkers in predicting outcome of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Twenty PD patients were followed using baseline plasma PLs with an improved online two-dimensional liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry system. Significant differences were observed in eight PL species with sphingomyelin (SM) and glycerophosphocholine between technical survival (n=15) and failure patients (n = 5). Cox regression showed SM 21:0 (adjusted HR 13.7, 95% CI 2.42-77.88, p = 0.003) was independently associated with patients technical failure. PD failure patients had different plasma PLs profiling as compared with survival patients. Elevated plasma SM 21:0 level may potentially serve as a biomarker of PD patients at risk for adverse outcomes.
