Strategies for the Super-Aged Dialysis Population: Survival Benefits or Alternative Goals?

abstract：BACKGROUND:We estimated the flow of endotoxins (ET) from dialysates into the blood of patients on hemodialysis (HD) using limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assays and endotoxin activity (EA) determined by neutrophil respiratory burst activity. METHODS:A cross-sectional study compared groups given ultrapure bicarbonate (n...
