The relationship between bile acids levels and the prognosis of patients with diabetes on maintenance hemodialysis: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

There is a paucity of research on the association between bile acids (BAs) levels and all-cause death in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with DM on MHD according to different BAs levels and their impact on prognosis.

Methods

A retrospective cohort of 1,081 patients on hemodialysis at Xindu People's Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College were enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. The relationship between BAs and all-cause death risk was fitted using restricted cubic splines (RCS), and the BAs cutoff value was calculated. Patients were divided into low and high BAs groups based on the cutoff value
