The association between the serum uric acid to creatinine ratio and all-cause mortality in elderly hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elderly hemodialysis patients have a higher rate of mortality than nonelderly hemodialysis patients. Recent studies shown that the serum uric acid to creatinine ratio (SUA/Scr) was associated with all-cause mortality in general adults. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between the SUA/Scr and all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among elderly hemodialysis patients.

Methods

A total of 222 patients (≥ 60 years) who received hemodialysis more than 8 h per week at Taizhou Second People's Hospital for at least 3 months were enrolled in the present study from January 2015 to December 2019.
