journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-21, 23:46 authored by Dreyer, G, Lawton, P, Matthew JoseMatthew JoseLeakage of hemodialysis catheter-locking solutions into the circulation has been reported in in vitro and in vivo studies, although there have been few reports of serious clinical adverse events.
