We selected candidate predictors based on previous studies; these included cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., age, sex, history of DM, causes of renal failure, smoking), dialysis-related risk factors (i.e., vintage, access at dialysis initiation, long-term access, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone, haemoglobin, serum albumin, serum uric acid (SUA), Kt/V) and nontraditional risk factors, as inexpensive markers are included in the complete blood count (CBC) test (i.e., RDW, NLR, and MLR). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute kidney injury.
