Missed dialysis and heart risks
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether missing dialysis sessions raises the chance of having a heart problem in the short term. It may help people on regular dialysis understand how important it is to attend every session.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
