Hemodiafiltration combines diffusive and convective solute removal in a single therapy by
ultrafiltering 20% or more of the blood volume processed using a high-flux hemodialyzer …

Hemodialysis (HD) is a life‐saving therapy for patients with end‐stage renal disease. In
dialyzed patients, the prevalence of multi‐morbidity is rising driven by various factors, such …

Systemic inflammation and uremic toxins (UT) determine the increased cardiovascular
mortality observed in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. Among UT, the adipokine …

Calcium is a key clotting factor, and several inorganic molecules that bind to calcium have
been found to reduce the clotting propensity of blood. Citrate, a calcium chelator, is used as …

Introduction The concentration of dialysate calcium (dCa) has been suggested to affect
vascular calcification, but evidence is scarce. Calcification propensity reflects the intrinsic …

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

Healthcare in general and dialysis care in particular are contributing to resource
consumption and, thus, have a notable environmental footprint. Dialysis is a life-saving …

Background and aims The dialysate magnesium (Mg) concentration is a major determinant
of Mg balance in hemodialysis. This study aimed to assess the systemic variations of total …

Background Citric acid–based bicarbonate haemodialysis (CIT-HD) has gained more
clinical acceptance over the last few years in France and is a substitute for other acidifiers …

Hemodialysis (HD) with bicarbonate dialysis fluid (DF) requires the presence of an acid to
prevent the precipitation of calcium and magnesium carbonate. The most used acid is acetic …
