One of the unfortunate effects of the NCDS study was it led to nephrologists thinking only small solute clearance matters and ultrafiltration volumes and rates don't. Kt/V could be achieved using larger dialysers in shorter times and this likely contributes to CV morbidity as summarised in this review http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19516249uk_traineenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-68240088516805092292009-12-22T09:15:54.835-05:002009-12-22T09:15:54.835-05:00To clarify: my point in the opening paragraph was...To clarify: my point in the opening paragraph was more to state the importance of cardiovascular morbidity & mortality in the patient with CKD/ESRD than to comment on the need for patients to have a cardiologist to manage these complications.

Remember your experience dealing with "Outside Hospital."<br /><br />Your job as a nephrologist is to keep the patient away from the cardiologist and his dye and atheroembolic inducing caths.<br /><br />The next cardiologist I see who can properly manage hypertension will be the first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
