Kidney transplantation improves cognitive and psychomotor functions in adult hemodialysis patients.

abstract：:Dialysis patients have increased susceptibility to infection and this is, in part, due to impaired phagocytic and bactericidal activities of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). The mechanisms responsible for the reduced phagocytosis are not known. Dialysis patients have elevated blood levels of parathyroid hormone (P...
