Association of arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics with moderately reduced glomerular filtration rate in Chinese middle-aged and elderly community residents: a cross-sectional analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The high cost, complexity of the available protocols, and metabolic complications are the major barriers that impede the clinical utilization of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) for sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED) in critically ill patients. By comparing a novel protocol for SLED using 30% cit...
