Reduced phosphorus is associated with older age and hypoalbuminemia. Risk factors for all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients

Introduction/aim Hyperphosphatemia is a mortality risk factor in dialysis patients; however, low phosphorus levels too. Diabetes and malnutrition are strongly associated with reduced serum phosphorus. This study analyzed the pattern of patients on Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) its association mortality. Methods A Secondary analysis was performed multicenter cohort peritoneal from two previous studies done by our group. Results Six hundred fifty-four were included. Serum <3.6 mg/dL 28.29% patients, 3.6 to 5.2 48.16%, >5.2 23.55%. In logistic regression analysis; education, age, hypoalbuminemia factors for P levels. multivariate Cox < mg/dL, albumin predictors all-cause When lower combined, this group had highest all cause cardiovascular Conclusion The frequency higher Mexican population than Europe or Asia. Low levels, older age combined
