Baseline Characteristics of 394 Hemodialysis Participants of the CHOICE Study.

Note: Numbers presented are mean (standard deviation) or percent unless otherwise specified. Conversion factors for units: albumin in g/dL to g/L, x 10; calcium in mg/dL to mmol/L, x 0.2495; phosphate in mg/dL to mmol/L, x 0.3229; hemoglobin in g/dL to g/L, x 10; BUN in mg/dL to urea in mmol/L, x 0.357; creatinine in mg/dL to μmol/L, x 88.4; p-cresol sulfate in mg/dL to μmol/L, x 53.1; indoxyl sulfate in mg/dL to μmol/L, x 46.9; hippuric acid in mg/dL to μmol/L, x 55.8; phenylacetylglutamine in mg/dL to μmol/L, x 37.8. No conversion is necessary for potassium and bicarbonate in mEq/L to mmol/L.
