Randomized trial of methylcobalamin and folate effects on homocysteine in hemodialysis patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Fatigue is a common symptom in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) and is generally associated with anemia. However, it can be difficult to resolve, even when anemia has been treated using erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and iron replacement therapy. In the present study, we examined the associations...
