Alkaline Phosphatase and Cumulative Vascular Access Burden in Maintenance Hemodialysis: An Exploratory Clinical Study

Key takeaways

This study looked at 74 people on dialysis to see if bone markers predict problems with their dialysis tubes. It found a link between certain blood levels and the need for more tube repairs. This shows a connection, but it does not prove that the blood levels cause the tube problems.
