Inflammation is highly prevalent among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is the most widely used inflammatory marker in clinical medicine and is correlated with mortality in PD patients. Air pollution is associated with systemic inflammation. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the role of air pollutants and other clinical variables on hs-CRP values in PD patients. We recruited a total of 175 patients who had been undergoing continuous ambulatory PD or automated PD for at least 4 months and regularly followed up. Air pollution levels were recorded by a network of 27 monitoring stations near or in the patients’ living areas throughout Taiwan. The 12-month average concentrations of particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of <10 and <2.5 μm (PM10 and PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3) were included. In stepwise linear regression, after adjustment for related factors, white blood cell count (β: 0.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.71, 2.11]) and CO level (β: 0.17, 95% CI [2.5, 21.32]) were positively associated with hs-CRP and serum albumin levels (β: −0.25, 95% CI [−13.69, −3.96]) and normalized protein nitrogen appearance (β: −0.18, 95% CI [−17.7, −2.51]) was negatively associated with hs-CRP. However, serum indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate levels were not significantly associated with hs-CRP (P > 0.05). In PD patients, the environmental CO level was positively correlated with hs-CRP level.
