  1. *P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant in univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis (adopted factors: age, gender, height, post-HD body weight, HD duration, ARB use, diabetes, SMI, Kt/V, and SGA)
  2. HD, hemodialysis; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blockers; SMI, skeletal muscle index, Kt/V, fractional clearance index for urea; SGA, subjective global assessment
