Mechanisms of impaired fatty acid metabolism will not be the similar in nondialysis and hemodialysis patients. Correlations between the serum free carnitine concentration (FC), acylcarnitine concentration (AC), acyl to free carnitine ratio (AC/FC) and estimated glomerular filtration charge (eGFR) in the nondialysis inhabitants and the length of hemodialysis in hemodialysis patients have been investigated. As…
