This review summarizes the association of common and novel liver function parameters with clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients by integrating the latest research, contributing to a better understanding of potential risk factors and helping to develop strategies for preventing disease progression.
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have significantly lower survival rates compared with the general population of the same age. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective treatment for patients with ESRD, but the clinical outcome of PD patients is still not promising. The survival of PD patients is associated with various clinical factors, and exploring some valid risk predictors may be beneficial for this population. In this review, by integrating the latest research, we summarized the association of some common and novel liver function parameters (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, serum bilirubin, pre-albumin, albumin, albumin-globulin ratio [AGR], serum ferritin, and hyaluronic acid) with clinical outcomes in PD patients. It may contribute to a better understanding of potential risk factors and help to develop strategies to prevent the disease progression.
