... albumin level was an independent predictor of mortality due to BSI (odds ratio [OR]: 0.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13–0.59). A lower serum albumin level (≤2.5 g/dL) was associated with poorer mortality. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was independently associated with mortality...

... class of dialysis membrane, the mid cut-off (MCO) dialyzer, has been developed to improve the clearance of uremic toxins in hemodialysis (HD). The a tRial Evaluating Mid cut-Off Value membrane clearance of Albumin and Light chains in HemoDialysis patients (REMOVAL-HD) study aimed to determine if regular...

... was performed to examine the associations of clinical parameters with KPSS changes. Results: Patients with KPSS declined showed older age and higher serum albumin concentration reduction within 1 year than those in KPSS improved and stable changes. Age was the significant risk factor for KPSS decline, while...

Secondary end points included serum albumin concentrations, albumin and small solute clearances. Results: HCO membranes achieved...

This paper examines a different approach to nutritional assessment – that of using longer term measures of nutrition. Several techniques for measuring body...
