Elevated Circulating Cell-Free DNA in Hemodialysis-Treated Patients Is Associated with Increased Mortality.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a form of systemic vasculitis that can progress to Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), and the most effective treatment remains controversial. Our aim was to compare the effects of oral mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with low-dose prednisone and the full-dose corticoster...
