Effects of the dialysate calcium concentrations and mineral bone disease treatments on mortality in The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) registry.

Effects of the dialysate calcium concentrations and mineral bone disease treatments on mortality in The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) registry.

BACKGROUND:In patients on hemodialysis (HD), the various chemical elements in the dialysate may influence survival rates. In particular, calcium modifies mineral and bone metabolism and the vascular calcification rate. We studied the influence of the dialysate calcium concentration and the treatment...
