TL;DR: In long-term HD patients, low iron stores, hyperparathyroidism, and high-turnover bone disease are associated with significant ESA hyporesponsiveness.

TL;DR: HD treatment dose and time appear to have different associations with survival in different sex or race groups, and Randomized controlled trials may be warranted to examine these associations across different racial and demographic groups.

TL;DR: A population-based, data-linkage study using total-linked, registry data from the Western Australia Birth Register of all liveborn, non-Indigenous Australian singleton births recorded from Jan 1, 1980, to Dec 31, 2010 to estimated whether rates of infection-related admissions to hospital for children in Western Australia were associated with age, gestational age, birthweight, and birth length.

TL;DR: In black hemodialysis patients, hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia are more prevalent than in nonblacks, whereas hyperph phosphatemia or hyperphosphatasemia are not, and survival advantages of blacks appear restricted to those receiving higher doses of active vitamin D.

TL;DR: Whereas in hemodialysis patients cumulatively high or low calcium levels are associated with higher death risk, subtle but meaningful interactions with phosphorus, PTH, paricalcitol dose and race exist.
