Supports residual renal function preservation in peritoneal dialysis; leaves open causal impact on stiffness and need for trials.
Is residual renal function associated with arterial stiffness in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis?
Residual renal function, but not peritoneal function, is independently associated with arterial stiffness in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
