Lupus nephritis at the University Hospital of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica: a 10-year experience.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as a uremia toxin is accumulated in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Elevated ADMA level has been shown to be predictive of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and all-cause mortality in ESRD. Therefore, we investigated the removal of ADMA by different dialysis treatment...
