		<description><![CDATA[Colorado researchers have found that high levels of a specific hormone can predict which kidney patients will develop heart problems, require dialysis or die prematurely.
&#8220;This discovery allows us to predict at-risk patients before they require dialysis,&#8221; said lead researcher Michel Chonchol, MD. &#8220;That&#8217;s critical because approximately 23 percent of patients on dialysis die in the [...]]]></description>
