Baseline biochemical data and dialysis prescription.

HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein; D/P, dialysate-to-plasma concentration ratio of creatinine; MTAC, mass transfer area coefficient; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; NPNA, normalized protein nitrogen appearance; FEBM, fat-free edema-free body mass by creatinine kinetics. Patients were divided to quartiles of plasma bacterial DNA. Quartile I had the lowest while quartile IV the highest plasma bacterial DNA level. Data are compared by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA).Baseline biochemical data and dialysis prescription.
