Serum albumin predicts mortality in dialysis patients and is used to assess their health status and the quality of delivered care. Whether the threshold level of serum albumin at which mortality risk increases in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is the same as for hemodialysis (HD) patients has not been studied. Observational cohort study of dialysis patients undertaken to determine the survival-predictability of serum albumin in PD patients, and to compare it with that in HD patients. 130,052 dialysis patients (PD, 12,171; HD, 117,851) who received treatment in any of the 580 dialysis units owned by DaVita Inc. between 7/1/2001 through 6/30/2006, followed through 6/30/2007 Baseline and time-averaged serum albumin (assayed by bromcresol green), and change in serum albumin over six months All-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortality. PD patients with baseline serum albumin < 3.0 g/dl had an over three-fold higher adjusted risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and 3.4-fold higher risk for infection-related mortality (reference group: serum albumin 4.00–4.19 g/dl). The adjusted all-cause mortality was significantly lower in PD patients with ≥ 0.3 g/dl increase in serum albumin over six months, and significantly higher in whom it decreased by ≥ 0.2 g/dl (reference group: serum albumin change, +0.1 to −0.1 g/dl). Significant increase in death risk was evident for HD patients with serum albumin < 4.0 g/dl but at < 3.8 g/dl for PD patients. For each albumin category, the overall death risk for PD patients was lower than of HD patients (reference group: HD patients with serum albumin, 4.00–4.19 g/dl). Study can only identify associations without attribution of causality and residual confounding cannot be excluded. To conclude, serum albumin predicts all-cause, cardiovascular, and infection-related mortality in both PD and HD patients. However, the threshold at which risk for death increases varies by dialysis modality and this difference should be considered by agencies or organizations that set quality standards.
