5,195 | 9,726 | Comparison of two methods for the estimation of urea kinetics and introduction of a third simplified method.
It has been claimed that computed urea kinetic (UK) modelling in hemodialysed patients, for the estimation of protein intake, leads to an overestimation of protein catabolic rate (PCR).
In the present study, t... | C12 |
