This study examined outcome in 942 prevalent diabetic
hemodialysis patients. Neither delivered Kt/V nor choice of
dialyzer membrane had an impact on the risk of death. The other
risk factors were found to be predictive, such as low serum
albumin, low hematocrit, white vs. black race, low serum
cholesterol, and poor control of blood glucose. The results
suggest that factors other than delivered therapy or dialysis
membrane need to be examined in order to improve short-term
outcome in diabetic patients on hemodialysis.
