Predicting anemia using NIR spectrum of spent dialysis fluid in hemodialysis patients
Anemia is commonly present in hemodialysis (HD) patients and significantly affects their survival and quality of life. NIR spectroscopy and machine...
-
Brachial artery transposition versus catheters as tertiary vascular access for maintenance hemodialysis: a single-center retrospective study
Some hemodialysis patients are not suitable for creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or arteriovenous graft (AVG). However, they can receive a...
-
A DNA origami-based aptamer nanoarray for potent and reversible anticoagulation in hemodialysis
Effective and safe hemodialysis is essential for patients with acute kidney injury and chronic renal failures. However, the development of effective...
