Medical treatment for an isolated renal multilocular hydatid cyst in an elderly: a case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cool dialysate is often recommended for prevention of intra-dialytic hypotensive episodes in maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, its effect on toxin removal is not studied. It is known that inter-compartmental resistance is the main barrier for toxin removal. Cool dialysate can potentially incre...
