Plasma Levels of Middle Molecules to Estimate Residual Kidney Function in Haemodialysis without Urine Collection
(2015-12-02)
BACKGROUND: Residual Kidney Function (RKF) is associated with survival benefits in haemodialysis (HD) but is difficult to measure without urine collection. Middle molecules such as Cystatin C and β2-microglobulin accumulate ...
Removal and rebound kinetics of cystatin C in high-flux hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration
(2014-07-07)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cystatin C is a 13.3 kD middle molecule of similar size to β2-microglobulin and a marker of GFR in CKD. This study aimed to determine cystatin C kinetics in hemodialysis to understand whether ...
