γ-Gammaglutamyl transferase predicts all-cause mortality within three-year intervals in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Objectives: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) serves as a vital renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). γ-Gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GGT) is a recognized predictor of oxidative stress and mortality. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of γ-GGT in predicting all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among PD patients.

Machine-learning algorithm-based prediction of a diagnostic model based on oxidative stress-related genes involved in immune infiltration in diabetic nephropathy patients.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most prevalent microvascular consequence of diabetes and has recently risen to the position of the world's second biggest cause of end-stage renal diseases. Growing studies suggest that oxidative stress (OS) responses are connected to the advancement of DN. This study aimed to developed a novel diagnostic model based on OS-related genes.

Serum platelet distribution width predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Background: Platelet distribution width (PDW) is a predictor for all-cause mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic implication of PDW in predicting cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Methods: In total, 762 PD patients from a single center were recruited retrospectively from 2005 to 2017 and followed up until 2021.
