Resumo (PT): Our data suggest that CKD patients under haemodialysis are associatedwith an altered protein membrane structure, which seems to be due to the disease itself and/or to the interaction with haemodialysis membranes. Further studies are warranted to clarify the mechanism underlying rhEPO resistance, which seems to be linked to an even more destabilized RBC membrane structure. <br> <br> <a target="_blank" href="http://ndtplus.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/1/suppl_2/ii26"> Texto integral </a> <br> <br>
