It is critical to clarify the biochemical factors associated with thrombosis development following tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) insertion.The study involved retrospective analysis of charts patients hospitalized for permanent TDC placement between 2013 and 2020 in a tertiary academic center. Patients undergoing hemodialysis schedule more than three months were included study. To determine predictive TDC, assigned one two groups, according extent thrombosis. The groups compared terms demographic characteristics, blood test values, complication length follow-up period.A total 350 (204 female, 146 male) enrolled into In mean BMI was found significantly higher (p = 0.001) presence diabetes mellitus common 0.014). had D-dimer (6.5 vs. 2.4 µg/mL, p procalcitonin levels (4.1 1.4 ng/mL, 0.001). Additionally, rate infective complications Logistic regression revealed that > 30 kg/m2 increased risk 3.842 3.104 times 0.004 0.038, respectively). level 3 µg/mL 2 ng/mL 0.001 0.007).The present demonstrated infection, kg/m2, increase incidence
