Background:

Online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) involves reinfusing large volumes of sterile dialysis fluid.
Historically, regulatory concerns delayed the widespread adoption of OL-HDF.
OL-HDF is now common in Europe, offering several advantages over standard convective treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the benefits and challenges of online hemodiafiltration.
To explore the potential of acetate-free paired hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) for improved patient outcomes and safety.

Main Methods:

Review of the feasibility and adoption of online fluid reinfusion techniques.
Comparison of OL-HDF with standard convective hemodialysis.
Introduction of acetate-free paired hemodiafiltration as an advanced online technique.

Main Results:

OL-HDF provides lower costs, better quality assurance, reduced environmental impact, and improved clinical outcomes.
High reinfusion volumes in OL-HDF enhance beta2-microglobulin removal, potentially improving survival and anemia.
Concerns exist regarding acetate burden in standard OL-HDF, which acetate-free paired hemodiafiltration aims to address.

Conclusions:

Online hemodiafiltration presents significant advantages over standard convective treatments.
Acetate-free paired hemodiafiltration offers a promising solution to enhance safety and efficacy in OL-HDF.
Further adoption of advanced online techniques can optimize dialysis therapy.
