Clinical cross-over comparison of mid-dilution hemodiafiltration using a novel dialyzer concept and post-dilution hemodiafiltration

Mid-Dilution Hemodiafiltration Compared to Pre- and Post-Dilution Hemodiafiltration: A Study Preparatory to a Prospective Randomized Trial

Clinical Performance of the Nipro ELISIOTM-190H Dialyzer in Hemodialysis and Hemodiafiltration

Hemodiafiltration: Technical and Clinical Issues.

Hemodiafiltration (HDF) seems to represent the gold standard in the field of replacement of renal function by dialysis. High convective fluxes have been correlated with better clinical outcomes. Sometimes, however, there are technical barriers to the achievement of high blood flows adequate to perform effective convective therapies. In spite of optimized procedures, the progressive increase in ...

Hemodiafiltration Improves Plasma 25-Hepcidin Levels: A Prospective, Randomized, Blinded, Cross-Over Study Comparing Hemodialysis and Hemodiafiltration

BACKGROUND/AIMS Data from studies comparing the effect of hemodiafiltration (HDF) and conventional hemodialysis (HD) on clinically important outcomes are insufficient to support superiority of HDF. None of these studies has been participant-blinded. METHODS We performed a prospective, randomized, and patient-blinded cross-over study. Twenty patients on chronic HD received either HD for 2 mont...

Removal of water-soluble and protein-bound solutes with reversed mid-dilution versus post-dilution haemodiafiltration.

BACKGROUND Convective dialysis strategies are superior in the removal of protein-bound uraemic retention solutes. Mid-dilution and mixed-dilution haemodiafiltration (HDF), both combining pre-dilution and post-dilution, are promising options to further improve removal capacity and have been shown of additional benefit for large middle molecules. In this study, we compared the removal of small wa...
