Abstract
Long-term survivors on dialysis therapy may have different risk factors for mortality than patients in earlier phases of end-stage renal disease (eg, race versus blood pressure); other risk factors may be constant over time (eg, age, comorbidity, and albumin level). Such information may help guide physicians in making prognostic judgments for individual patients with particular dialysis vintages.
