The Mutual Contribution of 3-NT, IL-18, Albumin, and Phosphate Foreshadows Death of Hemodialyzed Patients in a 2-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those who are hemodialyzed (HD), are at significantly high risk of contracting cardiovascular disease and having increased mortality. This study aimed to find potential death predictors, the measurement of which may reflect increased mortality in HD patients, and then combine the most promising ones in frames of a simple death risk assessment model. For this purpose, HD patients (n=71) with acute myocardial infarction in the last year (HD group) and healthy people (control group) as a comparative group (n=32) were included in the study. Various laboratory determinations and non-invasive cardiovascular tests were performed. Next, patients were followed for two years, and data on cardiovascular (CV) deaths were collected. On this basis,
