Mortality is substantially elevated in patients on chronic kidney disease in comparison to
general population. In this study, we observed the mortality rate in relation to risk factors …

Low residual renal function (RRF) and serum bicarbonate are associated with adverse
outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. However, a relationship between the 2 has not …

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine whether serum chloride and changes in
serum chloride over time were associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) or intensive care …

Chloride (Cl−) is the major extracellular anion in the body, accompanying sodium (Na+), and
is primarily derived from dietary sources. Data suggest that increased dietary Cl− intake …

Background Hypokalemia (LK) was associated with peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD)
patients, while the role of its degree and duration have not been fully established. Here, we …

Background The optimal level of salt intake remains ill-defined in non-dialysis chronic
kidney disease (CKD) patients under regular nephrology care. This unanswered question …

Objectives: Derangements of chloride ion concentration ([Cl–]) have been shown to be
associated with acute kidney injury and other adverse outcomes. For a physicochemical …

The time-averaged serum potassium was more comprehensive to reflect the all-time
changes of serum potassium levels during peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, the …

Introduction Hypokalemia, including normal range values< 4 mEq/l, has been associated
with increased peritonitis and mortality in patients with peritoneal dialysis. This study sought …

Serum Cl (sCl) alterations in hospitalized patients have not been comprehensively studied
in recent years. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and outcome …
