Haemodialysis is an extracorporeal process in which the blood is cleansed via removal of
uraemic retention products by a semipermeable membrane. Traditionally, dialysis …

In this review, a systematic literature search and meta‐analysis were performed to assess
the effects of hemodiafiltration (HDF) on clinical outcome, as compared with hemodialysis …

Background. Compared to high-flux dialysis membranes, novel medium cut-off (MCO)
membranes show greater permeability for larger middle molecules. Methods. In two …

Background Mortality rates remain high for haemodialysis (HD) patients and simply
increasing the HD dose to remove more small solutes does not improve survival. Online …

Online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), the most efficient renal replacement therapy, enables
enhanced removal of small and large uremic toxins by combining diffusive and convective …

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 …

Online haemodiafiltration (HDF) represents today the most advanced and innovative form of
renal replacement therapy (RRT). Recent controlled trials tend to prove its superiority over …

Background More than a third of the 65,000 people living with kidney failure in the UK attend
a dialysis unit 2–5 times a week to have their blood cleaned for 3–5 h. In haemodialysis …

Nearly 4 million people in the world receive life-sustaining kidney replacement therapy, with
haemodialysis (HD) accounting for approximately 69% of all treatments [1]. Despite …

Background Hypertension and cardiovascular disease are common in children undergoing
dialysis. Studies suggest that hemodiafiltration (HDF) may reduce cardiovascular mortality in …
