Table 3 shows simple logistic regression analysis of sociodemographic, clinical co-morbidities and blood parameters among patients in cohort (n=148) with post hemodialysis hyperglycemia (PHH). Diabetes, Body Mass Index (BMI) category, Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), age, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and albumin were significant at P<0.15 to be included in multiple logistic regression.
