Serum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Levels Predict Mortality in Patients With Peritoneal Dialysis
Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) level has been considered marker of oxidative stress as well as liver function. Serum GGT level has been reported to be associated with the mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, it is not well established whether serum GGT level is associated with all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The aim of this study was to determine the ass...
متن کاملSerum Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Levels Predict Clinical Outcomes in Hemodialysis Patients
BACKGROUND Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a biomarker of liver injury. GGT has also been reported to be a marker of oxidative stress and a predictor of mortality in the general population. Hemodialysis (HD) patients suffer from oxidative stress. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between serum GGT levels and clinical outcomes in HD patients. METHODS A total of 1,634 ...
متن کاملHemoglobin variability does not predict mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Hemoglobin variability in hemodialysis patients treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents has been used to evaluate mortality and comorbidity. Different outcomes have been reported in American and European hemodialysis patients. There are, however, few studies of the effects of hemoglobin variability in peritoneal dialysis patients. METHODS We investigated hemoglobin variabili...
متن کاملSerum Potassium Levels and Its Variability in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: Associations with Mortality
BACKGROUND Abnormal serum potassium is associated with an increased risk of mortality in dialysis patients. However, the impacts of serum potassium levels on short- and long-term mortality and association of potassium variability with death in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are uncertain. METHODS We examined mortality-predictability of serum potassium at baseline and its variability in PD ...
متن کاملTrajectories of Serum Albumin Predict Survival of Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Although initial serum albumin level is highly associated with overall and cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, we consider that the dynamic change and trend of albumin after initiation of PD are also essential.We enrolled patients who received PD for more than 3 months from January 1999 to March 2014. We categorized these patients into 2 groups by the difference in se...
