Abstract

Background: Iron status has a critical role in depressive symptoms, but evaluation of depressive symptoms associated with iron metabolism is not usually included as a clinical parameter in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We aimed to assess the correlations between depressive symptoms and clinical, demographic, and laboratory variables including iron metabolism. Methods: One hundred and thirty-eight HD patients were evaluated in this study. The Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI−II) was used to quantify levels of depressive symptoms. BDI−II scores ≥ 14 were defined as depressive symptoms. Mean age, duration of HD, haemoglobin levels, serum ferritin levels, serum iron levels, transferrin saturation (TSAT), total iron binding capacity, serum albumin levels, and C-reactive protein were included in the model. Patients were categorized into four groups according to serum ferritin levels and TSAT. Backward stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals derived. Results: Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with increased serum ferritin levels (OR, 1.010; p=0.0008). Compared with group 1 (ferritin <100 ng/dL, TSAT ≥20%) as reference, ORs for depressive symptoms were significantly increased in group 4 (ferritin ≥100 ng/dL, TSAT < 20%) (OR, 6.419; p=0.0073). Conclusion: Higher serum ferritin levels and decreased iron utilization efficiency were found to be involved in depressive symptoms among patients undergoing HD. Understanding the pathophysiology of depressive symptoms could provide insights into the design of clinical iron management in HD patients.
