Is hepcidin a link between anemia, inflammation and liver function in hemodialyzed patients?

abstract：:Clinical and pathologic findings are described in 14 patients whose main abnormality was an excessively thin glomerular basement membrane (GBM). The subjects were aged 11-51 years, the majority males: most were referred because of hematuria, but proteinuria was the main problem in 2, while hypertension or renal functi...
