Predictors of Care Gaps in Home Dialysis: The Home Dialysis Virtual Ward Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Serum creatinine (SCr) levels are decreased following traumatic amputation, leading to the overestimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). β-Trace protein (BTP) and β2-microglobulin (B2M) strongly correlate with measured GFR and have not been studied following amputation. We hypothesized that BTP and B2M...
