Bioartificial kidney alters cytokine response and hemodynamics in endotoxin-challenged uremic animals.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and residual renal function (RRF) has not been elucidated previously. METHODS:In this cross-sectional study, HRV was evaluated in 71 peritoneal dialysis patients. Patients were divided into RRF decline group, RRF stable group and anuric group. RESULTS:R...
