Hemodialysis (HD) catheters are used for vascular access not only in acute HD patients but also in maintenance HD patients who cannot use arteriovenous fistulas or grafts [1]. HD catheters are usually placed in central veins, such as the internal jugular vein, subclavian vein, or femoral vein. Femoral...
Risk prediction models for sarcopenia in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Dialysis 7 min.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) has become a major global public health concern, with a prevalence of approximately 10%-13% and a mortality rate as high as 30% [1].
