Response to: "Data-Driven Clustering in Hemodialysis: Novel Phenotypes or Rediscovery of the Malnutrition–Inflammation Complex?"
By Simon Aberger and Kathrin Eller.
Abstract
We thank Tomar et al. (1) for their careful reading of our study (2) and for raising the question whether our multidimensional cluster analysis is reducible to the Malnutrition-Inflammation-Complex (MIC), defined by elevated CRP and decreased serum-albumin.
