Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Levels are Not Associated with Increased Death Risk in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients: 5-Year Experience in a Single Hemodialysis Center

Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Levels are Not Associated with Increased Death Risk in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients: 5-Year Experience in a Single Hemodialysis Center

Background/Aims: Although high serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were reported as predictive factors for death risk in dialysis patients on the basis of large databank analyses, the real scenario in a single hemodialysis (HD) center is unknown.
