“…However, the serum albumin level is also a marker of systemic inflammation [47]. Previous studies showed that PD patients with low serum albumin levels had higher serum C-reactive protein levels and higher mortality rates [49,50,51,52]. Our result further supports the notion that HSP plays an important role in the background inflammatory state of stable PD patients.…”

“…Consequently, it remains unclear if persons with higher comorbidity profiles were more likely to initiate dialysis earlier. Since poor nutritional status at dialysis initiation is a known predictor of mortality in patients with CKD 5254 , we attempted to minimize this potential bias by using hazard ratios that were adjusted for several patient characteristics including nutritional indicators. However, the observational design of our analysis limits causal inference, and full adjustment for known and unknown confounders.…”

“…In scientific journals, prevalence of malnutrition among these patients varies from 18 to 75% depending on screening methods [5,6]. Malnutrition should be prevented because it largely contributes to the high rates of morbidity and mortality recorded among these patients.…”
