ALB and left ventricular hypertrophy: NHD was superior to CHD for cardiovascular-associated (left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH]: SMD: -0.39; 95%CI: -0.68 to -0.10; p = 0.009, left ventricular hypertrophy index [LVHI]: SMD: -0.64; 95%CI: -0.83 to -0.46; p<0.001) and uremia-associated intervention results (Serum albumin: SMD: 0.89; 95%CI: 0.41 to 1.36; p<0.001).
