Effects of the intrayear fluctuation in serum albumin levels on the prognosis of patients on hemodialysis: a six-center, 3-year observational study in Japan

Effects of the intrayear fluctuation in serum albumin levels on the prognosis of patients on hemodialysis: a six-center, 3-year observational study in Japan

Abstract Background Malnutrition and hypoalbuminemia are prognostic factors for mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). We hypothesized that the monthly variability in albumin levels was a stronger prognostic factor than its baseline level. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investiga...
