Several studies have stressed the importance of dialysis time in the removal of uremic retention solutes. To further investigate… (More)

Longer treatment time (TT) and slower ultrafiltration rate (UFR) are considered advantageous for hemodialysis (HD) patients. The… (More)

BACKGROUND There has been a lack of randomized control study on the effect of Kt/V on patient outcome. This interventional study… (More)

BACKGROUND Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and dialysis adequacy are both important predictors for mortality in dialysis… (More)

BACKGROUND Recently we have devised and tested a biofeedback system for controlling blood volume (BV) changes during hemodialysis… (More)

BACKGROUND The medical risk factors associated with increased mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients are well known, but the… (More)

Understanding the mechanism of brain glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier is of importance to understanding brain… (More)

BACKGROUND The effects of dialysis inadequacy on patient survival and nutritional status and that of malnutrition on survival… (More)

The original formula proposed to estimate variable-volume single-pool (VVSP) Kt/V was Kt/V = -In(R - 0.008 * t - f * UF/W), where… (More)
