Does timing of dialysis in patients with ESRD and acute myocardial infarcts affect morbidity or mortality?
We conclude that there is no increased morbidity with early dialysis in AMI, but rather close attention needs to be paid to the rate of decrease in serum potassium in patients with ESRD and their level of acuity when undergoing dialysis.
These findings support a new molecular mechanism by which Gal-1 interaction with tPA contributes to PDA progression involving both transformed epithelial cells and tumor fibroblasts.
