Middle molecule elimination in expanded haemodialysis: only convective transport?

Journal: Clinical kidney journal
Published Date: Dec 15, 2018

Abstract

BACKGROUND: New high-retention onset dialysers have shown improved efficacy in the elimination of uraemic toxins, and their depurative capacity has been compared with high convective volumes of online haemodiafiltration. Haemodialysis (HD) using high-flux membranes leads to convective transport by internal filtration [direct filtration (DF)/backfiltration (BF)] and allows the removal of middle molecules (MMs). The aim of this study was to assess solute transport mechanisms in expanded HD (HDx).
