Summary

Dialysis patients face complications despite technological advances. Biocompatible membranes and convective treatments like haemodiafiltration may improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm their long-term benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Haemodialysis patients experience significant morbidity and mortality due to treatment-related complications.
  • Convective haemodiafiltration and haemofiltration show promise over standard haemodialysis.
  • Dialysis membrane biocompatibility is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical studies on dialysis treatment modalities and membranes.
  • To highlight effects on acute and long-term haemodialysis complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing clinical studies.
  • Analysis of treatment modalities and membrane effects on complications.

Main Results:

  • Semisynthetic and synthetic membranes may reduce morbidity and mortality.

  • Conflicting results exist regarding the long-term detriment of thrice-weekly cell activation.
  • Dialysate, dialyser design, and reprocessing influence biocompatibility.

    • Conclusions:

    • Large-scale, long-term randomized trials are necessary.
    • Clarify if modality differences stem from middle molecule clearance or biocompatibility.
    • Investigate the interaction between membrane flux and biocompatibility for chronic renal replacement therapy.
