Change of prognostic nutritional index after three months of initial hemodialysis is a predictor of long-term outcomes for patients with uremia

Preprint C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study checked whether the change in a combined nutrition-and-immune score (the prognostic nutritional index) during the first three months of dialysis predicts how patients do over the long run. It followed people starting dialysis for kidney failure. As an observational preprint, it shows a link, not proof, and has not yet been peer reviewed.
