Health related quality of life (HRQOL) in the elderly on renal replacement therapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Gut-derived uremic toxins have been associated with adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Alterations in bowel habits, including constipation, seem to play an additional role in uremic toxicity. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of bowel habits with gut-derived uremic toxins...
