Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is associated with increased mortality in older patients on peritoneal dialysis

Background The triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (TG/HDL-C) has been suggested as a simple method to identify unfavorable cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and all-cause and CV mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients on PD from November 1, 2005, to...
