Validation of two prediction models of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease in mixed-ancestry South Africans.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAMs) are increasingly practiced in the general population; it is estimated that over 30% of patients with chronic diseases use CAMs on a regular basis. CAMs are also used in hospital settings, suggesting a growing interest in individualized therapies. One potential f...
