In the fully adjusted model including age, ESRD due to diabetes, glomerulonephritis, and hypertension, hemoglobin, albumin, Kt/V, alkaline phosphatase, and sodium, maintenance HD patients with high galectin-3 concentrations had an increased risk of death (HR = 1.59, 95% CI 0.96–2.65, p = 0.07), but this was not statistically significant (Table 3). Here, LGALS3 is linked to glomerulonephritis.
