An Optical Method for Serum Calcium and Phosphorus Level Assessment during Hemodialysis

An Optical Method for Serum Calcium and Phosphorus Level Assessment during Hemodialysis

Survival among hemodialysis patients is disturbingly low, partly because vascular calcification (VC) and cardiovascular disease are highly prevalent. Elevated serum phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) levels play an essential role in the formation of VC events. The purpose of the current study was to re...
