Effect of dialysate calcium concentration on bone disease in patients on hemodialysis. Plasma biochemistry, bone radiology and morphometry were studied in a group of 20 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. The aim was to determine if increasing the dialysate calcium concentration would decre...
