Abstract:

Objective Based on the fact that monosaccharide as an important component of pathogenic bacteria, this study investigated the diagnostic value of monosaccharide in peritoneal dialysate(PD)- associated peritonitis using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methods Peritoneal dialysate fluid samples were collected from 90 peritoneal dialysis patients hospitalized in the West Coast Nephrology Department, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021, including 52 normal samples(non-peritonitis group) and 38 peritonitis samples(24 in Gram-positive bacteria[GPB] peritonitis group and 14 in Gram-negative bacteria [GNB] peritonitis group). HPLC was used to determine the concentration of degraded mannose, glucose and fucose in the samples. The concentrations of mannose, glucose and fucose were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between monosaccharides and peritonitis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of monosaccharides for peritonitis. Results Monosaccharide differences levels were significant among the three groups ( P<0.01). Compared with the non-peritonitis group, the glucose concentration and fucose concentration in both peritonitis groups were significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Mannose concentration was different between peritonitis groups ( P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that fucose concentration was a risk factor for peritonitis ( P<0.01), with Mannose concentration for a risk factor of GPB( P<0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the fucose concentration had high diagnostic value for PD-associated peritonitis, AUC area is 0.820, 95% C I(0.732, 0.908), sensitivity is 71.05%, specificity is 84.62%, and the optimal cut-off value is 3.045 μmol/L. Similar diagnostic value for mannose concentration to GPB, AUC area for 0.863, 95% C I(0.740, 0.986), sensitivity for 78.57%, specificity for 83.33%, and the optimal cut-off valuefor 0.345 μmol/L. Significant decreased mannose concentration was in GPB. Conclusion The degraded fucose concentration and mannose concentration were independent risk factors for PD-associated dialysis and GPB, respectively. The significant decreased fucose concentration can indicate the risk of peritonitis. Meanwhile, the significant decreased mannose concentration might be a certain diagnostic value for early GPB infection and guide treatment options for antibiotic use.
