Highlights Higher plasma levels of CCL2 and lower plasma levels of TNF-α are associated with a greater risk of transfer to hemodialysis or mortality. Lower levels of IL-17 in the dialysate are associated with a greater risk of transfer to hemodialysis or mortality. These findings suggest that inflammatory biomarkers can be valuable tools for predicting all-cause mortality and transfer to hemodialysis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory biomarkers in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis […]
