Background Haemodiafiltration (HDF) has been reported to cause less hypotension than
haemodialysis (HD). We hypothesized that HDF causes less change in vascular tone …

Hemodialfiltration (HDF) has been reported to reduce the frequency of intradialytic
hypotension compared with hemodialysis (HD). We wished to determine whether HDF …

Background/Aims: Cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke are increased in dialysis
patients, and haemodiafiltration has been reported to reduce cerebrovascular mortality …

Hypotension commonly occurs during hemodialysis (HD). Hypotension can result from an
absolute reduction in plasma volume following excessive ultrafiltration or from a reduction in …

An elevated pulse pressure leads to an increased pulsatile cardiac load, and results from
arterial stiffening. The aim of our study was to test whether a reduction in volume overload by …

Abstract Background/Aims: The hypothesis that dialytic modality affects arterial stiffness was
never investigated. This study includes comparative evaluation of hemodiafiltration versus …

Increased arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients is a strong predictor of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (A Ix), which are …

Increased aortic stiffness—measured as aortic augmentation index (AIx), a global stiffness
marker—has emerged as a powerful predictor of survival in hemodialysis (HD). A single HD …

Background Whether fluid overload is associated with vascular stiffness parameters in
hemodialysis (HD) patients has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that interdialytic …

Background and objectives: Both larger molecule removal and dialyzer biocompatibility
have been implicated in the high-flux hemodialysis (HD)-associated favorable outcome. In …
