Joint Effect of Dietary Protein Intake and Inflammation on Serum Albumin Level in Long-Term Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) Patients

Joint Effect of Dietary Protein Intake and Inflammation on Serum Albumin Level in Long-Term Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) Patients

Serum albumin is one of the strongest mortality-predictors in MHD patients. Yet, the degree to which serum albumin represents dietary protein intake or inflammation is not clear. We hypothesized that inadequate protein intake and inflammation contribute equally to hypoalbuminemia and examined correl...
