High volume online post-dilution hemodiafiltration: how relevant is it in chronic kidney disease?

Abstract:
Online hemodiafiltration is potentially a superior mode of dialysis compared to conventional hemodialysis. However, prospective randomized controlled trials have failed to demonstrate such superiority. Post-hoc analyses of these trials have indicated that high volume post-dilution hemodiafiltration is associated with lower death rates than conventional dialysis. This study discusses whether the lower death rates ascribed to high volume hemodiafiltration are linked to convection volume or the time on dialysis needed to achieve high convection volumes.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
