C-reactive Protein Is a Strong Predictor of Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients

Background. To establish the baseline cutoff value of C-reactive protein (CRP) that would predict increased overall and cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods. A cohort of 270 prevalent hemodialysis patients treated at Rijeka University Hospital was eligibl...

Zusammenfassung:	Background. To establish the baseline cutoff value of C-reactive protein (CRP) that would predict increased overall and cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods. A cohort of 270 prevalent hemodialysis patients treated at Rijeka University Hospital was eligible for the study. Monthly CRP measurements were performed for three consecutive months. Only the patients with CRP values varying
