Role of leptin in reverse epidemiology in chronic kidney disease.

abstract：:Catheter recirculation (CR) occurs when blood returning from the venous limb of the catheter re-enters the arterial limb of the catheter without passage through the circulation. Adequacy of dialysis is influenced by the degree of access recirculation. In this study we evaluate factors influencing the degree of dialysi...
