متن کاملCauses and consequences of inflammation on anemia management in hemodialysis patients.
Inflammation is common among hemodialysis patients, and evidence is accumulating to suggest that inflammation is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. Several factors have been suggested as potential causes of inflammation, including infections and the atherosclerosis process, as well as etiologies directly related to kidney disease such as reduced renal function and dialysis. Among s...
