ASSOCIATION OF SERUM ALBUMIN AND MORTALITY IN ELDERLY DIALYSIS PATIENTS
Low serum albumin level is the strongest mortality-predictor in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. It is not known whether this association is consistent across all age groups, especially in the elderly. We examined the association of serum albumin and all–cause mortality in 105,523 MHD patien...
