The appropriate concentration of dialysate calcium (DCa) for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients remains a subject of ongoing debate. The relationship between DCa concentration and patient outcomes is not yet well established. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of DCa concentration on morta...
