| Abstract | AIMS: Glycated albumin (GA) is a marker for monitoring glycemic control in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We evaluated whether serum albumin-adjusted GA (adjusted GA) could predict mortality in diabetic patients with ESRD on hemodialysis. METHODS: Seventy-eight patients with type 2 diabetes treated with regular hemodialysis were enrolled and followed up for 5-years. The adjusted GA was calculated from the regression formula and mean GA. The cut-off values for GA and adjusted GA that predicted mortality risk were determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS: During the follow-up period (median: 36months), 15 patients died. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, there were no significant differences in the 5-year cumulative survival rate (58.3% [GA ≥19.8%] vs. 88.6% [GA <19.8%], P=0.075). Conversely, this rate was significantly higher in patients with adjusted GA <21.2% than adjusted GA ≥21.2% (86.4 vs. 49.5%, P=0.0068). After adjustment for other confounders, adjusted GA ≥21.2% was an independent predictor for mortality (hazard ratio 3.76, 95% confidence interval 1.12-17.44, P=0.031), but GA ≥19.8% was not (hazard ratio 2.63, 95% confidence interval 0.65-17.69, P=0.19). CONCLUSIONS: Adjusted GA is a better predictor of mortality than GA in diabetic patients with ESRD on hemodialysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
