Mortality Prediction Using Modern Peptide Biomarkers in Hemodialysis Patients - A Comparative Analysis

Background/Aims: Determination of peptide biomarkers such as troponins, natriuretic peptides or the recently reported FGF23 can be useful to identify hemodialysis patients with a high risk of mortality. However, it is desirable to focus on few robust parameters to warrant their routine application....
