title: Annual survival of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease on supportive hemodialysis and its correlates
abstract: Conclusions: Thus, residual renal function and higher serum albumin levels by the time maintenance hemodialysis begins are independent predictors of the best survival during the first year of replacement therapy. The presence of residual kidney function of less than 250 ml and a higher level of C-reactive protein correlated with an increased risk of mortality in these patients.
