Organ cross talk in the critically ill: the heart and kidney.

abstract：:Hyporesponsiveness to erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs) is a condition associated with increased mortality. Even after identifying the condition, the causes are difficult to treat and only partially reversible in end-stage renal disease patients. Thus, the role of more recent hemodialysis (HD) techniques in imp...
