Abstract:BackgroundThough the albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) is used as a biomarker in various diseases, little is known about its effect on outcomes after peritoneal dialysis (PD).MethodsThis multicenter retrospective study comprised 357 incident PD patients stratified according to the AAPR.
