Frailty syndrome and end-stage kidney disease outcomes at a Latin American dialysis center

CONCLUSIONS: Literature shows that compared to developed nations, Latin American adults are facing a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and frailty syndrome is raising. In this study, according to the FRAIL scale, having a frailty syndrome predicts a higher mortality; hypoalbuminemia and low creatinine levels at the beginning of dialysis could act as predictors of its diagnosis.PMID:38207151 | PMC:PMC10911819 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7057
