Lower serum potassium combined with lower sodium concentrations predict long-term mortality risk in hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of different pre-hemodialysis (HD) serum sodium (S[Na]) and potassium (S[K]) concentrations on the long-term prognosis of HD patients. METHODS A cohort of 424 maintenance HD patients (age: 58 ± 13 years, male: 47%, diabetes: 39%) from a single center were divided into four groups based on both medians of S[Na] (138.4 mmo...
متن کاملAssociation of cumulatively low or high serum calcium levels with mortality in long-term hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The outcome-predictability of baseline and instantaneously changing serum calcium in hemodialysis patients has been examined. We investigated the mortality-predictability of time-averaged calcium values to reflect the 'cumulative' effect of calcium burden over time. METHODS We employed a Cox model using up-to-5-year (7/2001-6/2006) time-averaged values to examine the mortality-pred...
متن کاملSubcutaneous beta2-microglobulin amyloid shoulder nodulesin a long-term hemodialysis patient.
beta2-Microglobulin accumulation with resultant tumor formation is a known albeit rare complication of long-term hemodialysis. Although these tumors may occur in various locations, subcutaneous shoulder nodules are very infrequent. We report a patient with end-stage kidney failure who had been on hemodialysis for 16 years and noted left shoulder nodules after initiation of hemodialysis; these n...
متن کاملSerum beta2-microglobulin level is a significant predictor of mortality in maintenance haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)-M) is recognized as a surrogate marker of middle-molecule uraemic toxins and is a key component in the genesis of dialysis-associated amyloidosis. Few studies have evaluated the association of beta(2)-M levels with clinical outcome in dialyzed patients. METHODS The prognostic implication of serum beta(2)-M levels for the survival of haemodialysis pati...
متن کاملNutritional Predictors of Mortality in Long Term Hemodialysis Patients
Serum albumin had been noted to be a predictor of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) less than 0.8 or greater than 1.4 g/kg/d was also associated with greater mortality. There was no previous study to show the effectiveness of combination of serum albumin and nPCR to predict the mortality in chronic HD patients. Eight hundred and sixty-six patients...
