Evaluation of the Relationship between the Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Level at Dialysis Initiation and All-Cause Mortality: A Multicenter, Prospective Study

Evaluation of the Relationship between the Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Level at Dialysis Initiation and All-Cause Mortality: A Multicenter, Prospective Study

Background/Aim: High serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels predict mortality independent of bone metabolism parameters and liver function test results in patients on hemodialysis. The relationship between serum ALP at dialysis initiation and mortality during maintenance dialysis is unknown; theref...
