Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the alexithymia in the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients in our peritoneal dialysis center,and determine the factors affecting alexithymia in CPAD patients.Methods The patients with end-stage renal disease treated by CAPD were divided into alexithymia group (total score≥61)and non-alexithymia group(total score≤51),according to the Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS-20).Risk factors for alexithymia were analyzed by Logistic regression statistical model.Results (1)The TAS-20 score was(55.8±9.2) in 86 cases of patients with CAPD.Among them,TAS-20 scores of 38 cases were ≥61 points with an average score (64.5 ±4.4),and the scores of 30 cases were ≤ 51 points with an average score (48.9±5.3),which had a significant difference(t=10.1,P＜0.01).(2) There were significant differences in the pay-way and the residual urine volume between the two groups(P＜0.01).There were significant correlations of alexithymia with the pay-way and the residual urine volume(P＜0.01).(3) The level of serum albumin was significantly lower in alexithymia groups than that in non-alexithymia(P＜0.01).The level of serum calcium,phosphorus and parathormone were significantly higher in alexithymia group than that in non-alexithymia group(P＜0.05).There were significant negative correlations of alexithymia with the level of serum albumin(P＜0.01) and positive correlations of alexithymia with the level of serum calcium,phosphorus and parathormone(P＜0.05).(4) There were significant differences score in SF-36 total score,Physical Function,Bodily Pain,General Health,Vitality,Social Function,Role-Emotional and Mental Health (P＜ 0.01);There were significant negative correlations of alexithymia with SF-36,Physical Function,Bodily Pain,General Health,Vitality,Social Function,Role-Emotional and Mental Health (P＜ 0.05).(5) The Kt/v was 1.65±0.47 in alexithymia group and 2.13±0.69 in non-alexithymia group.There were significant differences in the two groups(t=2.5,P=0.017).There were significant negative correlations of alexithymia with Kt/v(r=-0.417,P=0.007)by Pearson correlation analysis.Logistic regression analysis showed that the level of serun albumin,SF-36 scores,residual urine volume,the pay-way and Kt/v were the risk factors for alexithymia.Conclusion The incidence rate of alexithymia is higher.The level of serum albumin,SF-36 scores,residual urine volume,the pay-way and Kt/v are the risk factors for alexithymia.
