Of the continuous variables nPCR (Figure 3), % change in post-HD goal (dry) weight, serum phosphate were positively correlated with mean serum albumin levels (p < 0.001 for all) whereas the number of episodes of bacteremia (p < 0.001), febrile episodes, and days spent in hospital (p < 0.05 for both) showed a negative correlation with mean albumin levels. Here, ALB is linked to bacterial infectious disease with sepsis.
