The role of erythrocytes phosphatidylserine exposure in anemia in peritoneal dialysis patients.

abstract：:Purpose: Typically, IgA nephropathy is a slowly progressive type of glomerulonephritis. High-grade proteinuria and hypertension are predictors of reduced kidney function. However, we found some normotensive patients with mild proteinuria could exhibit impaired renal function at the time of IgAN diagnosis. We therefore...
