Leveraging Big Data and Electronic Health Records to Enhance Novel Approaches to Acute Kidney Injury Research and Care.

abstract：:Reprocessing of used dialyzers with chemical disinfectants is practiced commonly in the United States and in some areas of Western Europe. Concern over residual toxic or allergenic agents has encouraged the search for other practical methods to disinfect or sterilize used hemodialyzers. The use of moist heat has been ...
