Range of serum transthyretin levels in hemodialysis patients at a high risk of 1‐year mortality: A retrospective cohort study

Introduction Transthyretin (TTR) is a sensitive marker of nutritional status and independent risk factor for mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, its range associated with prognosis in Japanese hemodialysis patients is unknown. Methods Maintenance hemodialysis Patients (n = 664) were enrolle...

Description
Summary:Introduction Transthyretin (TTR) is a sensitive marker of nutritional status and independent risk factor for mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, its range associated with prognosis in Japanese hemodialysis patients is unknown. Methods Maintenance hemodialysis Patients (n = 664) were enrolled, and their TTR levels were measured to assess 1‐year mortality. Patients were assigned to four groups based on TTR levels:
