Abstract: The number of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is increasing rapidly in association with the progress of blood purification technology. The improvement of prognosis in MHD patients becomes a clinically important issue. Many studies indicated that the risk factors for MHD patients included primary disease, hypertension, mineral and bone disorders, malnutrition, uremic complications, etc. Comprehensive treatment may be the best way to improve their prognosis.
