Journal Article
Istanbuly, O., Belcher, J., Tabinor, M., Solis-Trapala, I., Lambie, M., & Davies, S. J. (in press). Estimating the association between systemic Interleukin-6 and mortality in the dialysis population. Re-analysis of the global fluid study, systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Nephrology, 24(1), Article 312. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-023-03370-4

Background: Systemic inflammation, measured as circulating Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease. However, this has not been convincingly demonstrated in a systematic review o... Read More about Estimating the association between systemic Interleukin-6 and mortality in the dialysis population.
