Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship between recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) responsiveness, insulin resistance, and malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome in hemodialysis patients.Methods: This was an observational cohort study in hemodialysis patients. Adipokines, inflammatory cytokines, and required EPO dosage were measured in diabetes (DM; n=58) and non-diabetes (non-DM; n= 58) groups over 48 weeks. Furthermore, the EPO responsiveness index (required EPO dosage divided by hemoglobin) was evaluated with or without MIA syndrome in both groups.Results: The DM group had significantly higher plasma leptin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels but lower plasma high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin levels compared to the non-DM group. Although hemoglobin levels were not significantly different, required EPO dosage was significantly higher in the DM group than in the non-DM group, particularly in the presence of MIA syndrome. The DM group with MIA syndrome had significantly higher plasma leptin, IL-6, and hs-CRP levels but lower plasma HMW adiponectin levels compared to the non-DM group with MIA syndrome. There was also a significant association between EPO dosage and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), hs-CRP, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, leptin, and HMW adiponectin levels in DM patients with MIA syndrome.Conclusion: Diabetic hemodialysis patients with MIA syndrome have a lower response to EPO and a higher resistance to insulin. This fact may explain the poor outcome of these patients and demonstrate the importance of diagnosis and therapeutic management.
