Effect of calcitriol on serum hepcidin in individuals with chronic kidney disease: a randomized controlled trial.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The possibility of clearing Cell-free Plasma Hemoglobin (CPH) from human plasma may appear attractive, especially when considering the noxious effects that CPH has on the immune function and the renal damage caused by its filtration. The existence of the so-called High Cut-Off (HCO) filters, possessing pores...
