In the multivariate analysis that included the conventional risk factors for all-cause mortality (age, sex, smoking, presence of diabetes mellitus, duration of dialysis, CACS, serum albumin, CRP, log intact FGF23, ERI, and dose of calcium carbonate) (Model 1), the age, CACS, serum CRP, ERI, and dose of calcium carbonate were significant predictors of 5-year all-cause mortality. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and diabetes mellitus.
