The elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been related to morbidity and mortality of different diseases, including chronic kidney disease. Few 5 studies have explored the relationship of high RDW with mortality in hemodialysis patients, even with contradictory results, for which our objective was to determine if RDW > 14.9% is a risk factor for mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. Material and methods: We conducted an analytical, observational, retrospective, case-control study in 177 patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. The simple consisted of 59 deceased patients (cases) and 118 living patients (controls) selected by simple random sampling. The ADE of the patients was divided into > 14.9% (high ADE) and ≤ 14.9% (low ADE). Results: 72.9% of the cases presented high RDW compared to 44.1% of the controls. Patients with high RDW had an OR: 3.41 (95% CI 1.73 - 6.73, p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis of the risk factors related to mortality with significant differences in the total sample, we found an adjusted OR for anemia: 2,636 (95% CI 1.211 - 5.736, p < 0.015). Conclusion: The red cell distribution width is not a risk factor for mortality in patients with CKD on hemodialysis.
