Initiation Condition of Hemodialysis Is Independently Associated with All-Cause Mortality in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Retrospective Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Psychological depression and physical disability are closely correlated in hemodialysis patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to examine the independent association of physical and psychological functioning with mortality in a hemodialysis cohort in Taiwan. METHODS:A total of 888 stable hemod...

abstract：:Haemodialysis is associated with increased oxidant stress. This appears to be due to (1) an increased production of free radicals during haemodialysis, (2) a net reduction of many antioxidants and (3) factors intrinsic to the uremic state. These alterations can lead to cardiovascular disease and many of the pathologie...
