Is Sclerostin Level Associated with Cardiovascular Diseases in Hemodialysis Patients?

abstract：:A significant and increasing number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are treated with online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), even in the absence of more conclusive survival data. OL-HDF affords several clinical benefits including control of anemia of CKD, a common affliction in dialysis patients. In efforts to und...
