Serum Albumin at Start of Peritoneal Dialysis Predicts Long-Term Outcomes in Anhui Han Patients on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

In Anhui Han patients on CAPD, the levels of serum ALB at start of PD are inversely correlated with patient mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and technique failure, and the long-term outcomes of patients with hypoalbuminemia at start of PD are poor. To improve the long-term outcomes of Anhui Han CAPD patients, patients with hypoalbuminemia at start of PD should be closely monitored.
