This study investigates whether serum inflammatory markers (C
Reactive Protein, alpha1-Acid Glycoprotein, s-Fibrinogen) and serum
albumin predict 2 year survival and morbidity in HD patients
(n=115). Multifactorial analysis showed that only albumin predicts
survival and morbidity . These data do not confirm the recent findings
by Bergstrom et al. (JASN 1995,573) suggesting that albumin has no
independent prediction power on mortality in HD patients (Bruno
Cianciaruso, M.D., University of Naples, Italy).
