Associations of adiponectin, leptin levels, and the change of body composition in patients on peritoneal dialysis: a prospective cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: A high adiponectin level could predict an increase in FM% and a decrease in LBM% during a 3-year follow-up in PD patients. Serum adiponectin could not independently predict mortality in PD patients.
