Dietary Potassium and Clinical Outcomes among Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between dietary potassium and clinical prognosis is unclear in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we explored the association between dietary potassium intake and all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

Methods

Here, we present a retrospective analysis of a prospective study. Patients that began incident PD in our center between 1 October 2002 and 31 August 2014 were screened. We recorded all demographic and clinical data at baseline. Repeated measurements were recorded at regular intervals to calculate time-averaged values. Spline regression analysis and Cox proportional regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary potassium and mortality.
