Estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure and self-reported physical function in patients on hemodialysis.

abstract：:We analyzed routine serum potassium concentration measurements and conditions temporally associated with abnormalities in potassium concentration in outpatients on chronic hemodialysis (136 nondiabetics, 36 diabetics) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (16 nondiabetics, 10 diabetics).
