TLDR
Results showed that with increase in Hs-CRP level, the risk of peritonitis increased, and besides, the albumin level decreased among patients with peritoneal dialysis in comparison with patients withoutPeritonitis; there was no significant correlation between albuminlevel andperitonitis.Abstract:
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a predictor of cardiovascular diseases in both normal people and patients on hemodialysis. This study aimed to assess the relationship of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) serum level and peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Methods: 113 patients on peritoneal dialysis in Isfahan city, Iran, participated in our study in 2015. Serum albumin and Hs-CRP levels were measured in each patient at three times (baseline, and 6 and 12 month after that) and the patients were followed up for 1 year. All the patients were evaluated for peritonitis in every visit. At the end of the study, two groups of patients on peritoneal dialysis with and without peritonitis were compared. Findings: Among 113 patients, 24 were excluded from the study because of death or kidney transplantation and 89 patients were included in final analysis. The mean Hs-CRP levels in patients with peritonitis were 4.83, 5.79, and 7.42 mg/l at baseline, and 6 and 12 month after it, respectively; these levels were 4.47, 3.19, and 2.69 mg/l in patients without peritonitis, respectively. In addition, the mean albumin levels in patient with peritonitis were 3.38, 3.29 and 3.40 mg/l at baseline, and 6 and 12 month after it, respectively; these values were 3.56, 4.05, and 3.51 mg/l in patients without peritonitis, respectively. Conclusion: Results showed that with increase in Hs-CRP level, the risk of peritonitis increased. Besides, the albumin level decreased among patients with peritonitis in comparison with patients without peritonitis; there was no significant correlation between albumin level and peritonitis. © 2017, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).

Inflammation, Aspirin, and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Apparently Healthy Men
TL;DR: The reduction associated with the use of aspirin in the risk of a first myocardial infarction appears to be directly related to the level of C-reactive protein, raising the possibility that antiinflammatory agents may have clinical benefits in preventing cardiovascular disease.

C-Reactive protein predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.
TL;DR: Although values for blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and normalized protein catabolic rate were significantly less among patients who died, these parameters, as well as cholesterol level and diabetes, were not important predictors of death in multivariate analysis.

TL;DR: A logistic regression analysis performed using the laboratory variables revealed a strong, independent, and inverse relationships between the serum albumin and creatinine concentrations, total lymphocyte count, and the odds risk of death.

Peritonitis influences mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.
TL;DR: Peritonitis was a risk factor for death in whites, nondiabetic patients, and older patients and the Y-set did not improve survival, perhaps because it does not decrease Gram-negative/fungal peritonitis.
