    Abstract Background: Hypochloremia has been associated with increased mortality in patients with hypertension, heart failure, sepsis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The pathophysiological mechanisms of this finding are not clear. There are no studies describing an association between serum chloride levels (Cl
    Method: Retrospective cohort study of the incident population in our chronic outpatient hemodialysis program between January 1, 2016, and January 1, 2021 (N=374). Survival time was collected in all patients and analyzed using the Kaplan-Meyer method. A multivariate Cox regression model was performed to predict the probability of survival, applying a stepwise procedure.
    Results: During the median follow-up period of 20 months, 83 patients died. The 5-year overall survival rate for our patients was 45%. Both natremia and chloremia had no significant differences when compared by sex, vascular access, or etiology. There was an inverse correlation between Cl

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic inflammation and the underlying cardiovascular comorbidity are still current problems in chronic hemodialysis patients. There are few studies comparing the "dialysis dose" with the degree of inflammation in the patient. Our main objective was to determine whether there is a relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and the "dialysis dose" (Kt / V) using ionic dialysance.
    Methods: Multicenter cross-sectional study. 536 prevalent chronic hemodialysis patients were included. CRP levels, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were collected. Kt was obtained by ionic dialysance and urea distribution volume was calculated from the Watson's formula. The sample was divided into two groups, taking the median CRP as the cut-off point. Dialysis adequacy obtained in each group was compared. Finally, a logistic regression model was carried out to determine the variables with the greatest influence.
    Results: Median CRP was 4.10 mg/L (q25-q75: 1.67-10) and mean Kt/V was 1.48 ± 0.308. Kt/V was lower in the patients included in the high inflammation group (p = 0.01). In the multivariate logistic regression, the "high" levels of CRP were directly correlated with the Log INL (p < 0.001) and inversely proportional with serum albumin values (p = 0.014), Kt/V (p = 0.037) and serum iron (p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The poorer adequacy in terms of dialysis doses, lower Kt / V values, may contribute to a higher degree of inflammation in chronic hemodialysis patients.

There are few studies comparing the "dialysis dose" (Kt/V) with the degree of inflammation in the patient. Our main objective was to determine whether there is a relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and the Kt/V using ionic dialysance.

Finally, a logistic regression model was carried out to determine the variables with the greatest influence.
    Results: Median CRP was 4.10mg/L (q25-q75: 1.67-10) and mean Kt/V was 1.48±0.308. Kt/V was lower in the patients included in the high inflammation group (P=.01). In the multivariate logistic regression, the "high" levels of CRP were directly correlated with the Log neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (P<.001) and inversely proportional with serum albumin values (P=.014), Kt/V (P=.037) and serum iron (P<.001).
    Conclusion: The poorer adequacy in terms of dialysis doses (lower Kt/V values) may contribute to a higher degree of inflammation in chronic hemodialysis patients.
