Background: Chloride is the most abundant anion in the human extracellular fluid and plays
a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis. Previous studies have demonstrated that …

Background Chronic inflammatory disorders in peritoneal dialysis (PD) contribute to the
adverse clinical outcome. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is the novel and …

Background In dialysis patients, lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) did not
provide benefits, which seemed implausible in clinical practice. We hypothesized a U …

Objective Inflammation and nutrition have been recognized as predicting mortality in
patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Serum neutrophil and albumin are crucial factors …

Background: Serum albumin and total cholesterol are associated with mortality. In clinical
practice, evaluating the association of combining album and total cholesterol with mortality …

Background Total cholesterol is inversely associated with mortality in dialysis patients, which
seems implausible in real-world clinical practice. May there be an optimal range of total …

Background Hypochloremia has been associated with increased mortality in patients with
hypertension, heart failure, sepsis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The …

Background: The association between serum creatine kinase and mortality in peritoneal
dialysis (PD) patients remained unknown. Methods: We retrospectively collected data on …

Background: Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) following coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) often experience abnormal levels of blood chloride. This study …

Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is often complicated by left ventricular
dysfunction, which is associated with a poor prognosis. This study aims to investigate the …
