| Popis: | Leptin correlates with body fat content and plays a pivotal role in inflammatory response. This study aimed to investigate the relationships of fasting serum leptin levels and the anthropometric fat components among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Fasting blood samples were obtained from 40 PD patients. Leptin levels were measured using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Body weight (r=0.424; P=0.006), waist circumference (r=0.352; P=0.026), body mass index (BMI; r=0.483; P=0.002), body fat mass (r=0.352; P=0.026), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP; r=0.494; P=0.001), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF; r=0.505; P=0.001), mid-arm circumference (MAC; r=0.471; P=0.002), and mid-arm fat area (MAFA; r=0.564; P |
