Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) is an established renal replacement modality for patients with
end stage chronic kidney disease that is now gaining rapid clinical acceptance worldwide …

As increasing demand for hemodialysis (HD) treatment incurs significant financial burden to
healthcare systems and ecological burden as well, novel therapeutic approaches as well as …

Background Recently, several pharmaceutical companies have developed new medium cut-
off (MCO) dialyzers for expanded hemodialysis (HDx). This study aimed to compare the …

A hallmark of chronic kidney disease is the retention of solutes that normally are eliminated
by the kidneys. The current classification defines uremic toxins based on molecular weight …

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in expanded hemodialysis (HDx), an
emerging renal replacement therapy based on the use of medium cut-off membranes …

Dialysis membrane is a crucial component of the hemodialysis system to optimize solute
removal efficacy and to minimize blood membrane biological reactions. Hemodialyzer is …

Background: Medium cut-off (MCO) membranes enhance large middle-molecule clearance
while selectively retaining molecules> 45 000 Da. Objectives: We undertook a systematic …

ABSTRACT Introduction In Japan, dialyzers are classified based on β2-microglobulin
clearance. Type I dialyzers are classified as low-flux dialyzers (< 10 mL/min clearance), type …

Background: Dialyzers are classified as low-flux, high-flux, and protein-leaking membrane
dialyzers internationally and as types I, II, III, IV, and V based on β2-microglobulin clearance …

Abstract Background Online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) is associated with better removal of
both small and middle molecules and might improve survival compared to conventional …
