Baseline characteristics of PD patients according to categories of serum potassium.

Values expressed as mean ± SD, number (percent), or median (interquartile range). Conversion factors for units: albumin and hemoglobin in g/dL to g/L, × 10; FBG in mg/dL to mmol/L, × 0.05551. No conversion necessary for serum potassium in mEq/L and mmol/L.
