Nutritional Status and Mortality Predictability for Time-Varying Serum Alkaline Phosphatase in Hemodialysis Patients: A Longitudinal Study

Objective null Higher serum alkaline phosphatase (sALP) levels associate with a poor prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients. However, little is known about the meaning of lower sALP in this population. We hypothesized that lower sALP concentrations may express nutritional status and survival accordingly. null Methods null A retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of a clinical database containing the medical records of 554 patients (367...
