Survivors and non-survivors did not differ significantly in age, blood pressure, body mass index or Kt\/V (p&gt;0.05). Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) was used in 62.5% of patients, with no mortality difference between AVF and catheter groups (p&gt;0.05). Diabetes and hypertension were not linked to increased mortality (p&gt;0.05), while coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure were associated with higher mortality (p&lt;0.05). Serum creatinine, sodium, albumin and absolute lymphocyte counts were significantly lower in the deceased, while absolute neutrophil counts and CRP levels were higher (p&lt;0.01). Multivariate logistic regression identified female gender, low serum albumin, and lymphopenia as independent risk factors for mortality (p&lt;0.05). ROC analysis showed mortality increased by 6.9-fold with Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII)\u2265703, 10.4-fold with Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)\u22654.2, 34.2-fold with Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI)&lt;41.45, and 14.2-fold with lymphocyte count&lt;1145 (p&lt;0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study identified female gender, low serum albumin, lymphopenia, and increased NLR and SII as independent mortality risk factors in hemodialysis patients.
