This study aimed to clarify the potential association of serum soluble α-klotho levels with all-cause mortality in Chinese patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).    Material and methods  The present study is a single -center prospective cohort study. It comprised 134 MHD patients which were divided into two groups according to the median level of serum α -klotho: 68 patients representing the low soluble α-klotho group ( 1.15 ng/ml). These patients were followed up for 36 months. The three-year all-cause mortality rate, overall survival (OS) and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality were observed. The potential risk factors of all-cause mortality in MHD patients were investigated by Cox regression models.    Results  The 3-year all-cause mortality rates in low soluble α-klotho group were significantly higher than those in high soluble α-klotho group (33.82% vs. 16.67%, P=0.039). The difference of the 3-year cardio-cerebrovascular mortality rates between the two groups was non-significant (26.47% vs. 15.15%, P=0.107). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the differences in the rates of OS and cardio-cerebrovascular death free survival between the two groups were significantly different (all P&lt;0.05). The Cox regression analyses revealed that low soluble α-klotho level was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in MHD patients after adjusting for potential confounding factors.    Conclusions  Low serum soluble α-klotho levels was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese MHD patients.
