Status of metals in serum and urine samples of chronic kidney disease patients in a rural area of Bangladesh: An observational study
The traditional causes of Chronic Kidney Damage (CKD) are Diabetes and Hypertension. However, recent studies reported the possible relations between metal exposure and CKD. This study aims to explore the status of metals in CKD patients compared to their healthy counterparts at Narayanganj, Banglade...
