Management of renal dysfunction in patients with liver cirrhosis: role of pretransplantation hemodialysis and outcomes after liver transplantation.

abstract：:Vascular surgeons well versed in peritoneal dialysis applications understand the importance of this modality among the limited options afforded to patients in renal failure. Peritoneal and hemodialysis strategies are interdependent and should be considered in concert. Careful assessment often shows that patients with ...
