Background: Inadequacy of dialysis is one of the main causes of death in hemodialysis patients. Some studies have suggested that highflux membrane improves removal of moderatemolecules while other studies no significant on them. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the dialysis adequacy of low-flux versus high-flux membranes in Hemodialysis Patients. Patients and Methods: Forty ...

Introduction: Dialysis quality is an important factor in reducing inability and mortality chronic kidney failure patients can enhance their life social activity. Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to examine the efficacy dialysis based on urea reduction rate (URR) associated factors hemodialysis due lack clarity adequacy dialysis. Patients Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional st...

BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent complication of haemodialysis. Reducing the temperature of the dialysis fluid is a simple therapeutic strategy but is relatively underused. This may be due to concerns regarding its effects on symptoms and dialysis adequacy. We performed a systematic review of the literature to examine the effects of cool dialysis on intradialytic blood p...

BACKGROUND Increasing dialysate flow rates (Qd) from 500 to 800 ml/min has been recommended to increase dialysis efficiency. A few publications show that increasing Qd no longer led to an increase in mass transfer area coefficient (KoA) or Kt/V measurement. Our objectives were: 1) Studying the effect in Kt of using a Qd of 400, 500, 700 ml/min and autoflow (AF) with different modern dialysers. ...

A number of considerations suggest that trace element disturbances might occur in dialysed patients. These must at least in part be ascribed to the dialysis treatment itself during which these constituents may either be transferred to or removed from the patient. Tap water must be considered as the main source of dialysate trace metal contamination. These can adequately be removed during water ...
