Abstract
Although malnutrition and inflammation may explain the increased risk for mortality in patients with decreasing serum HDL-C concentrations over time, these indices do not mitigate the elevated risk in patients with rising serum HDL-C. We found that increasing serum HDL-C over time is paradoxically associated with worse outcomes in incident hemodialysis patients.
