Abstract 17172: Contrary to the General Population, Upward Increments in Serum High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Over Time Are Associated With Worse Survival in Incident Hemodialysis Patients

Introduction: null We have previously reported that elevated serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level was associated with poor cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the association between change in HDL over time and mortality in HD patients has not been fully examined. null null Hypothesis: null We hypothesized that increasing serum HDL levels over time would not be associated with...
