Association of Neutrophil and Albumin With Mortality Risk in Patients Receiving  Peritoneal Dialysis

Inflammation and nutrition have been recognized as predicting mortality in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Serum neutrophil and albumin are crucial factors in inflammation and nutrition status. Up until now, the synergistic effect of neutrophil and albumin on mortality prediction in PD patients is still being determined. Our study sought to assess the effect of the interaction between neutrophils and albumin on the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality patients receiving PD.
