Article Synopsis
- Residual diuresis (RD) is an important measure of kidney function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and is linked to inflammation caused by uremia.
- A study involving 80 CKD patients on hemodialysis found that those with no residual diuresis (anuric) had higher levels of the inflammatory marker hs-CRP compared to those with some residual function.
- Significant correlations were observed between hs-CRP levels and RD, as well as atherogenic factors like apolipoprotein A1, indicating that patients without RD are more affected by inflammation.
