AbstractBackground. Fetuin-A (α 2-Heremans Schmid glycoprotein) has recently been identified as a circulating inhibitor of calcification and is regulated as a negative acute phase protein. However, its relationships with cardiac valvular calcification and atherosclerosis and outcome have not been evaluated in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Method. We performed a prospective follow-up study in 238 PD patients with echocardiography done at baseline to detect cardiac valvular calcification and biochemical analysis performed for serum fetuin-A, albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP). Results. Baseline serum fetuin-A concentration was (mean±SD) 0.309±0.068 g/l (normal range 0.4-0.95). Across the three tertiles of increasing serum fetuin-A, a significant trend effect was observed for age (P = 0.023), diabetes (P = 0.008), background atherosclerotic vascular disease (P = 0.010), cardiac valvular calcification (P = 0.002), serum albumin (P<0.001), subjective global assessment (P = 0.005) and CRP (P<0.001). Adjusti0ng for CRP and calcium × phosphorus product, every 0.01 g/l increase in serum fetuin-A remained independently associated with a 6% decrease in the risk of valvular calcification (95% confidence intervals, 0.90-0.99; P = 0.028). Furthermore, serum fetuin-A showed a significant decrease across the four groups of patients with increasing components of the malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis/calcification (MIAC) syndrome (P<0.001) and was the lowest among patients with all components of the MIAC syndrome (0.263±0.055 g/l) and highest among those who do not have the MIAC syndrome at all (0.338±0.06 g/l). Lower serum fetuin-A was associated with greater all-cause mortality (P = 0.0011) and fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (P = 0.0017), but its significance was lost when atherosclerotic vascular disease, valvular calcification, inflammation and malnutrition were included in the model. Conclusions. Serum fetuin-A showed important associations with valvular calcification, atherosclerosis, malnutrition and inflammation, and was linked to mortality and cardiovascular events in PD patients via its close relationships with the MIAC syndrome. © The Author [2005].
