Effect of an Oral Adsorbent, AST-120, on Dialysis Initiation and Survival in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Figure 2
Subgroup analysis of the delaying effect of AST-120 on dialysis initiation. The cumulative percentages of non-dialysis patients were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier methods. The dialysis initiation free rate was significantly higher in the AST-120 group than in the non-AST-120 group in all subgroups, with DM [11] (a) or without DM (b), and with CVD (c) or without CVD (d).
