Nephrolithiasis and hypertension: possible links and clinical implications.

abstract：:Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major cause of concern in end stage renal disease (ESRD), contributing to 70% of cardiovascular mortality and 27% of all-cause mortality in dialysis patients. Yet its mechanisms and pathogenesis remain largely obscure. This review discusses the potential reasons for an exaggerated risk ...
