Among 114 HD patients (57 cases, 57 controls), six independent risk factors were identified: afternoon HD session, presence of cardiovascular disease, and low levels of albumin (<37.35 g/L), creatinine (<828.65 μmol/L), urea (<28.05 mmol/L), and pre-dialysis blood glucose (<5.75 mmol/L). Here, ALB is linked to cardiovascular disorder.
