RBP4: A Culprit for Insulin Resistance in End Stage Renal Disease That Can Be Cleared by Hemodiafiltration.

abstract：:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the predominant risk factor for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The association between HBV infection and human leukocyte antigen- (HLA-) DQ polymorphism (rs2856718 and rs7453920) has been demonstrated in other studies; however, the results were controversial or inconclusive. Therefore,...
