Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although presepsin (P-SEP) is an early sepsis biomarker, sepsis is often suspected after starting hemodialysis (HD). To enhance the utility of P-SEP, we investigated whether pre-HD P-SEP levels could be predicted using the P-SEP levels from blood samples collected after starting HD.
