Chronic kidney disease of uncertain aetiology: adding vital piece of information to the national project team report of Sri Lanka.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels have been reported to be associated with infectious mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Peritonitis is the most common and fatal infectious complication, resulting in technique failure, hospital admission and mortality. Whether PTH is associated with periton...
