Corresponding Author	There is a paucity of data regarding outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), even though both hepatitis B virus and CKD are endemic in Taiwan. In a large-scale study, a total of 440 patients with HCC were categorized according to their CKD stage. At the end of analysis, it was found that HCC patients with stages 4 and 5 CKD suffered poorer survival than stages 1 and 2 CKD, which might be explained by inferior liver reserve. Interestingly, tumor stage was not a significant predictor for mortality according to a multivariate Cox regression model.
