(American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2019-09)
Rationale & Objective: Annually, about 100,000 US patients face the difficult choice between the most common dialysis types, in-center hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. This study evaluated the value of a new decision ...
WNK4 limits distal calcium losses following acute furosemide treatment
