The main objective of this study was to investigate the transthyretin profile in hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the absence of inflammation in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. Material and methods: This was a prospective study of CKD hemodialysis patients recruited at the CHU-SS from 1er January 2022 to 28 February 2022. Socio-demographic data were obtained after examination of the medical records of hemodialysis CKD patients. All biochemical parameters were measured on the COBAS® 6000 automated system. Colorimetric methods were used to measure urea (urease/Glutamate dehydrogenase), creatinine (modified Jaffé) and albumin (bromocresol green). CRP, alpha-1-glucoprotein acid and transthyretin were determined by the immunoturbidimetric method. Results and discussion: A total of 41 hemodialysis patients were included in the study. The mean age was 42.93±12.21 years with extremes ranging from 22 to 72 years. There was a male predominance with a sex ratio (M/F) of 1.56. The mean BMI of the patients was 20.70±2.87 kg/m2 with extremes from 14.45 to 28.28 kg/m2. Mean transthyretin was 0.47±0.13 g/L. Significant positive correlations were observed with albumin (r=0.77; p=0.0000) and alpha 1 glycoprotein acid (r=0.43; p= 0.004). In the absence of inflammation in the patient group, only one patient (2.44%) presented with hypotranthyretinemia. Conclusion: Transthyretin provides quantitative and clinically useful data for better management of undernutrition and, above all, for predicting the morbidity and mortality associated with protein-energy undernutrition.
