Abstract
We read with great interest a recent study 1 investigating the relationship between serum prealbumin concentration and right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients undergoing programmed hemodiaelysis. In this study 1 , the results found that patients with RVD had lower prealbumin concentration compared with patients without RVD (23.83 ± 8.50 mg/dL versus 31.38 ± 6.81 mg/dL, p=0.001), and prealbumin concentration had an important role in predicting RVD. However, after reading this study carefully
