Abstract
Experience of COVID 19 disease on 159 Ecuadorian chronic dialysis patients
Highlights
1.4.3.4: We recommend that clinical laboratories should (1B): K measure serum creatinine using a specific assay with calibration traceable to the international standard reference materials and minimal bias compared to isotope-dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) reference methodology
3.1.11: We suggest that an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) be used in children with CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD) in whom treatment with blood pressure (BP)-lowering drugs is indicated, irrespective of the level of proteinuria. (2D)
We suggest that people with levels of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) above the upper normal limit of the assay are first evaluated for hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and vitamin D deficiency. (2C)
