From: Association of Serum Aluminum Levels with Mortality in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis
Subgroup analysis of the effect of serum aluminum levels (<6 and ≥6 ng/mL) on (A) all-cause mortality and (B) cardiovascular mortality among patients on chronic hemodialysis. The full model comprised adjusted variables including age; sex; hemodialysis vintage; diabetes mellitus; cardiovascular disease; cardiothoracic ratio; levels of creatinine, albumin, hemoglobin, ionized calcium, phosphate, and alkaline phosphatase; transferrin saturation; urea kinetics; as well as prescription of antiplatelet agents, renin–angiotensin blockers, beta-blockers, and lipid-lowering agents.
