Abstract:
Persons with end-stage kidney disease treated with dialysis experience distressing reductions in quality of life and increased mortality. Few large, randomized trials in nephrology have reported on health-related quality of life. Rose et al. report beneficial effects of high-volume hemodiafiltration versus high-flux hemodialysis on secondary end points of health-related quality of life in the CONVINCE trial (Comparison of High Dose Hemodiafiltration with High Flux Hemodialysis Trial). These results raise questions regarding hemodiafiltration as a potential modality to preserve health-related quality of life in end-stage kidney disease.

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...
