Hemodialysis performance and outcomes among end stage renal disease patients from Sokoto, North-Western Nigeria
The cost of managing end stage renal disease (ESRD) is prohibitive in Nigeria and the burden is solely borne by patients and their relatives. Despite increasing number of dialysis centers in urban areas, actual utilization of such facilities is very low. It is unclear if the outcomes of these patien...
