Estimating phosphate removal in haemodialysis: an additional tool to quantify dialysis dose (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Half of the dialysis population suffers from hyperphosphataemia, which is now recognized as a major factor of haemodialysis (HD) morbidity and mortality. Current control is focussed on red
