Serum Potassium and Cause-Specific Mortality in a Large Peritoneal Dialysis Cohort

[摘要] Background and objectives Unlike hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a continuous therapy and does not induce myocardial stunning. Yet, the death risk in HD and PD patients is similar. This study tested the hypothesis that serum potassium abnormalities contribute more to the death risk in PD patients than in HD patients.
