Abstract
Serum anion gap (AG) has recently been proven to represent a biomarker for predicting prognosis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, whether change in AG (ΔAG) at the time of starting hemodialysis predicts mortality after starting hemodialysis in elderly patients with ESRD remains unknown.Keywords
