Clinical Scenarios in Chronic Kidney Disease: Cystic Renal Diseases.

abstract：:On-line hemodiafiltration (on-line HDF) is the result of a vision that triggered multifarious changes in very different areas. Driven by the idea to offer better medical treatment for renal patients, technological innovations were developed and established that also constituted new challenges in the field of regulator...
