Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a life-limiting comorbidity in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). In childhood, imaging studies have demonstrated early phenotypic …

Introduction Compared to standard hemodialysis (S-HD), postdilution hemodiafiltration
(HDF) has been associated with improved survival. Methods To assess whether intradialytic …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a life-limiting condition in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD) and is rapidly progressive, especially in those with stage 5 CKD and on …

Background Dialyzers should be designed to efficiently eliminate uraemic toxins during
dialysis treatment, given that the accumulation of small and middle molecular weight …

…. It is likely that high-convective volume hemodiafiltration results in better cardiovascular
outcomes than hemodialysis. At the moment, the mechanism of this benefit is not completely …

Background Hemodialysis (HD) using super high‐flux dialyzer (HD+ SHF) comparably
removed uremic toxins to high‐volume postdilution online hemodiafiltration (olHDF) …

Background Studies addressing the anti-inflammatory properties of citrate dialysate enrolled
patients in both hemodialysis (HD) and hemodiafiltration (HDF), the latter not adjusted for …

Introduction: Hemodialysis patients are pro‐thrombotic. Higher volume online postdilutional
hemodiafiltration (OL‐HDF), with increasing hematocrit increases the risk of clotting in the …

Evidence concerning online hemodiafiltration (ol-HDF) includes increased uremic toxin
removal, prevention of dialysis-related hypotension, improved survival, and recovery of …
