Patients on haemodialysis are becoming increasingly older and this means there is an increase in the number of vascular access complications. Infections of tunnelled catheters cause a high morbidity/mortality.
Research in nephrology seeks to fi nd increasingly effi cient extrarenal purifi cation techniques. The dialysis technique of potassium-profi led acetatefree biofi ltration offers better tolerance and reduces the risk of arrhythmias. Our aim was to compare this technique with high-fl ow haemodialysis and with haemodiafi ltration in order to ascertain which dialysis treatment is the most suitable for each patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
