Apoprotein B/Apoprotein A-1 Ratio and Mortality among Prevalent Dialysis Patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In dialysis patients, the associations between apoprotein profile and all-cause or cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality are not well known. We, therefore, investigated whether apoprotein levels are associated with these events. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We undertook a prospective observational cohort study of prevalent hemodialysis patie...
متن کاملNutritional predictors of mortality in prevalent peritoneal dialysis patients.
Malnutrition remains one of the major predictors of mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional status of prevalent PD patients, and to determine the best predictors of outcome among anthropometric and laboratory indices of nutrition. The study included 106 prevalent PD patients from a single university-based unit. Anthropometric assessme...
متن کاملFrailty and mortality among dialysis patients

Since the mean age of dialysis patients is increasing worldwide, frailty has recently come to be considered one of the risk factors for mortality in the older dialysis population. The prevalence of frailty among dialysis pati...
متن کاملHypothyroidism and mortality among dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hypothyroidism is highly prevalent among ESRD patients, but its clinical significance and the benefits of thyroid hormone replacement in this context remain unclear. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This study examined the association between hypothyroidism and all-cause mortality among 2715 adult dialysis patients with baseline thyrotropin levels measur...
متن کاملContinuous mortality risk among peritoneal dialysis patients.
C onventional hemodialysis (CHD) administered thrice weekly for 3to 4-hour sessions and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are the 2 most commonly delivered dialysis modalities. Patients treated with CHD are subject to short periods of rapid fluid and solute removal accompanied by brisk electrolyte shifts followed by long intervals when these substances reaccumulate. In contrast, PD uses the patient’s pe...
