Background

We investigated the association between mineral metabolism parameters and mortality in Korean hemodialysis patients to identify optimal targets in Korean population.

Methods

Among hemodialysis patients registered in the End-stage renal disease Registry of the Korean Society of Nephrology between March 2012 and June 2017, those with serum calcium, phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) measured at enrollment were included. Analysis for the association of serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, and iPTH with all-cause mortality was conducted.

Results

Among the total 21,433 enrolled patients, 3,135 (14.6%) patients died during 24.8 ± 14.5 months follow-up period. After multivariable adjustment, patients in the 1^st quintile of corrected calcium was associated with lower mortality (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.71-0.99; P=0.003), while those in the 5^th quintile of corrected calcium was associated with higher mortality (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.20-1.61; P<0.001) compared with those in the 3^rd quintile. For phosphorus, only the lowest quintile was significantly associated with increased mortality (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.08-1.43; P=0.003). The lowest (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.02-1.36; P=0.026) and the highest quintile of iPTH (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.05-1.46; P=0.013) were associated with increased mortality. Regarding target counts achieved according to the KDOQI guideline, patients who achieved none of the mineral parameter targets had higher mortality than those who achieved all of the 3 targets (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.12-1.67; P=0.003).

Conclusion

In Korean hemodialysis patients, high serum calcium, low phosphorus, as well as high and low iPTH levels were associated with increased all-cause mortality.
