Predictors of functional impairment and mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis

CONCLUSIONS: Older age and suppressed PTH levels are predictors of mortality in ESRD patients receiving MHD. These patients require regular follow-ups to rule out cardiovascular morbidity. Functional impairment is prevalent but remains underdiagnosed in MHD patients. It should be monitored regularly to improve quality of life in ESRD.PMID:37615221 | DOI:10.1111/sdi.13173
