Prognostic Value of Elevated Plasma Galectin-3 for Renal Adverse Events in Dialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians can use Gal-3 as a standalone forecaster of all-cause mortality and CV events for hemodialysis patients because correlates with these outcomes. Further research is necessary to determine its predictive value for CV mortality. Investigators need to perform further research with a large sample size on the predictive value of Gal-3 for dialysis patients, particularly PD patients, from a variety of ethnic backgrounds to improve the precise treatment for high-risk patients.PMID:37652423
