Mineral metabolism, mortality, and morbidity in maintenance hemodialysis
GA Block, PS Klassen, JM Lazarus… - Journal of the …, 2004 - journals.lww.com
Mortality rates in ESRD are unacceptably high. Disorders of mineral metabolism
(hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism) are potentially
modifiable. For determining associations among disorders of mineral metabolism, mortality,
and morbidity in hemodialysis patients, data on 40,538 hemodialysis patients with at least
one determination of serum phosphorus and calcium during the last 3 mo of 1997 were
analyzed. Unadjusted, case mix–adjusted, and multivariable-adjusted relative risks of death …
