Association of Body Composition and Intradialytic Hypotension in Hemodialysis Patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Removal of protein-bound uremic toxins by dialysis therapy is limited. The effect of oral adsorbent AST-120 in chronic dialysis patients has rarely been investigated. METHODS:AST-120 was administered 6.0 g/day for 3 months in 69 chronic dialysis patients. The blood concentrations of indoxyl sulfate, p-creso...
