Health Care Quality in CKD Subjects: A Cross-Sectional In-Hospital Evaluation

Figure 6

Distribution of certain variables in the CKD stages. (a) Age was unequally distributed in the stages II–V, the same applied for systolic blood pressure before discharge (d). (f) Serum phosphate quantification was performed more frequently in subjects with higher CKD stages (results in (a), (c), (d), and (e) as mean±SD). (a) Age, (b) gender, (c) in-hospital stay, (d) systolic blood pressure, (e) diastolic blood pressure, (f) phosphate quantification, (g) PTH quantification, (h) ferritin quantification, (i) quantification of transferrin saturation, (j) assessment of proteinuria, (k) RAAS inhibition, and (l) bicarbonate treatment.
