Oral Charcoal Adsorbents Attenuate Neointima Formation of Arteriovenous Fistulas
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) accelerates the development of neointima formation at the anastomosis site of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas. Accumulation of certain uremic toxins has a deleterious effect on the cardiovascular system. The oral charcoal adsorbent, AST-120, reduces circulating and tissue ur...
