Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. The replacement of functioning nephrons by fibrosis is characteristic of progressive disease. The pathways that lead to fibrosis are not fully understood, although chronic non-resolving...

Increasing the use of biocompatible, glucose-free peritoneal dialysis solutions.

World journal of nephrology

Qayyum A, Oei EL, Paudel K, Fan SL.
PMID: 25664250
