On Mortality Risk Factors in Patients with End-Stage Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis

There is no consensus regarding the factors influencing mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). According to the authors who searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central for studies assessing mortality risk factors in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), age (per 1 year), DM, pre-existing cardiovascular disease, CRP (higher vs. lower), ferritin In, adiponectin (per 10.0 μg/mL increase), HbA1c (higher vs. lower), TnT, and BNP were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. BMI (per 1 kg/m2 increase), hemoglobin (per 1 d/dL increase), albumin (higher vs. lower), TIBC, iron, ApoA2, and ApoA3 were associated with a decreased risk of all-cause mortality.
