IntroductionHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the major risk factors for gastrointestinal morbidity in hemodialysis patients. Primary end point is to investigate H. pylori infection rate in hemodialysis patients. As secondary end point, we clarified whether pepsinogen (PG) level was related with H. pylori infection status in hemodialysis patients.MethodsSerum levels of PG I, II, and anti-H. pylori IgG antibody were assessed in 500 Japanese hemodialysis patients.ResultsH. pylori infection rate was 15.0%(75/500; 95% CI 12.0-18.4). The duration of hemodialysis in H. pylori-positives was 4.6±3.8 years, which was significantly shorter than in H. pylori-negatives (7.3±6.9, p= 0.001). PG I levels positively correlated with the PG II level and PG I/II ratio (| R|= 0.661, p< 0.001, and| R|= 0.544, p< 0.001, respectively). Using a cutoff value of 7.75, the sensitivity and specificity of PG I/II ratio for predicting H. pylori-negatives were 86.3 and 87.8%, respectively (area under the curve 0.930).ConclusionsIn hemodialysis patients, infection rate with H. pylori was< 20%, with lower rates in patients receiving hemodialysis for longer terms. A PG I/II ratio with a cutoff value of 7.75 may be useful for screening for H. pylori status.
