Abstract:IntroductionTo assess the relationship between the rate of residual renal function (RRF) decline in the first year and all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.MethodsIncident PD patients were divided into two groups by the corresponding RRF decline value, when hazard ratio (HR) = 1 was found by the restricted cubic spline. The associations of rate of decline of RRF in the first year with mortality were evaluated.ResultsOf 497 PD patients, 122 patients died. After adjusting f… Show more
