Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In a retrospective cohort study of 2,292 hemodialysis patients, treatment with lanthanum was independently associated with a significant survival benefit in hemodialysis patients with inadequately controlled hyperphosphatemia. We found no significant associations of better glycemic control or use of inhibitors of renin-angiotensin system with improved survival. We also performed a prospective cohort study: a total of 654 hemodialysis patients were recruited and were prospectively followed for 3 years. Baseline median FGF23 levels and mean soluble Klotho levels were 1,878 pg/ml and 377 pg/ml, respectively. We will evaluate associations of FGF23 levels, soluble Klotho levels, and other patient characteristics with mortality and cardiovascular events.
