High alkaline phosphatase and low intact parathyroid hormone associate with worse clinical outcome in peritoneal dialysis patients.

CONCLUSIONS: The combination of high ALP and low iPTH was independently associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in PD patients, suggesting that ALP and iPTH have the potential to predict clinical outcomes and might be useful risk assessment tools in PD patients. Further studies exploring the observed association between combination of ALP with iPTH and mortality are warranted. PMID: 32363998 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
