Online haemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality versus conventional haemodialysis (HD); however, it is not always available. In these situations, a novel class of membranes with higher pore size, medium cut-off (MCO) dialysers, could be promising. The aim this study evaluate the efficacy an MCO dialyser in removal small and medium-size molecules compare standard high-flux (HF) dialysers HD OL-HDF.

Purpose Stenosis is the main cause of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure. It still unclear whether surveillance based on vascular access blood flow (Q A ) enhances AVF function and longevity. Methods We conducted a three-year follow-up randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label trial to compare Q -based pre-emptive repair subclinical stenosis with standard monitoring/surveillance techniques in prevalent mature AVFs. AVFs were randomized either control group (surveillance classic alarm...

Abstract Chronic malnutrition is a common problem in patients with end‐stage renal disease on hemodialysis. Some studies have reported albumin loss into dialysis fluid during postdilution online hemodiafiltration (OL‐HDF). The aim of the study was to assess nutritional status high‐volume OL‐HDF and demonstrate that higher convective clearances are not associated due possible nutrients ultrafiltration. Demographic clinical data, corporal composition bioimpedance spectroscopy, features,...

A good vascular access (VA) is vital for haemodialysis (HD) patients. HD with an autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) associated higher survival, lower health care costs and fewer complications. Although a distal forearm AVF the best option, not all patients are candidates this approach primary failure rate ranges from 20% to 50%. The optimal depends mainly on anatomical haemodynamic characteristics of artery vein chosen anastomosis. These can be modified by performing physical exercise....
