Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis: tamoxifen as a new therapeutic agent?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mineral and bone parameters are actively managed in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, whether these undergo circadian variation is not known. We investigated the circadian variation of mineral and bone parameters in patients on long-term hemodialysis. METHODS:Seventeen ESRD patients on long-term hemo...
