Clinical Value of the Malnutrition-Inflammation-Atherosclerosis Syndrome for Long-Term Prediction of Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease: A 5-Year Prospective Study

Abstract

We have demonstrated that cIMT, CRP and serum albumin predict long-term mortality in ERSD patients. Our study suggests that further investigation of the MIA syndrome will provide insights into the susceptibility to CVD in this patient group.
