Abstract:Background/Aims: Compared with hemodialysis (HD), hemodiafiltration (HDF) reduces the frequency of episodes of intradialytic hypotension.

This study examined whether online HDF (ol-HDF) prevented IPVD compared with HD. Methods: Online HDF of pre-dilution mode (pre-ol-HDF) and post-dilution mode (post-ol-HDF) and HD were performed in 22 patients on… Show more
