Background As lung impairment is an indicator of increased morbidity and mortality in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), the risk factors associated with impaired lung function are of great significance. The aim of this study is to elucidate the effects of inflammatory biomarkers and dialysis adequacy on pulmonary function, in CAPD patients. Methods 101 patients undergoing CAPD, 30 CKD5 patients and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled. Spirometry and serum biomarkers were evaluated in each subject. Pulmonary function was compared among patients and control groups. Pearson analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum biomarkers, dialysis adequacy and pulmonary function. Results Lower vital capacity, maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), maximal mid-expiratory flow rate (MMEF), and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) were observed in the CAPD group (all P < 0.05) when compared with control subjects. DLCO % was negatively correlated with CRP ( r = −0.349, P = 0.007) and positively correlated with albumin ( r = 0.401, P = 0.002). Total Kt/V was associated positively with MMEF % ( r = 0.316, P = 0.019), and MVV % ( r = 0.362, P = 0.007). nPNA was positively correlated with FVC % ( r = 0.295, P = 0.049) and MMEF % ( r = 0.381, P = 0.010). Conclusion The results suggest that lung function decline was directly related to higher CRP level, hypoalbuminemia, and dialysis inadequacy. These findings provide the evidence that inflammation and dialysis adequacy play a role in predicting outcomes of CAPD patients with pulmonary impairment.
