Elevated serum uric acid. A cardiovascular risk factor?

abstract：:From a review of the literature regarding kinetic models used for assessing the adequacy of hemodialysis, no definite conclusions can be drawn as to whether the classical urea kinetic model (UKM) or modified direct dialysis quantification (mDDQ) is more reliable. We compared mDDQ with classical UKM and with a modified...
