Optimal Therapeutic Conditions for Online Hemodiafiltration

Abstract: The safety of online hemodiafiltration (ol-HDF) relies on very strict rules of use. The use of ultrapure water to feed an ol-HDF machine is a basic requirement for ol-HDF. Technical aspects and microbial monitoring have been precisely described in the European Best Practice Guidelines. Specifically designed and certified ol-HDF machines are needed. All these machines share the production of substitution fluid by the cold sterilization process of fresh dialysate based on ultrafilters. Hygiene handling is a cruc… Show more

“…Vascular access is defined as inadequate when it does not permit a blood flow rate of 300 ml/min to be reached [23]. Ideally, patients treated with convective modalities such as OL-HDF require a vascular access capable of delivering consistently a blood flow rate between 350 and 400 ml/min, or higher [24]. In therapies that target the removal of larger solutes, high blood flow rate (in conjunction with appropriate highly permeable membranes, sieving coefficient β 2 M >0.6) facilitates the ultrafiltration rate and reduces the TMP regimen during the treatment session.…”

“…Hemodiafiltration (HDF) can efficiently remove uremic toxins, from low-molecular-weight to large-molecular-weight substances, by using a combination of diffusion and convection [1,2,3]. More specifically, the benefits of HDF can be best utilized and good therapeutic efficacy achieved in the treatment of insomnia, pruritus, irritability, restless legs syndrome (RLS), anemia, dialysis amyloidosis (DA), etc., when removal performance of low-molecular-weight protein (LMWP) is improved [4,5,6,7].…”

“…The replacement fluid rates that influenced the efficacy of both HDF techniques were equally prescribed at 200 mL/min according to the previous report of the optimal replacement rate in the original mid‐dilution technique (29). Other HDF parameters which were prescribed following the expert recommendation for OL‐HDF requirements including high blood flow rate (300–400 mL/min), high dialysate/replacement flow rate (600 mL/min), and utilization of the highly permeable and adequately sized hemodiafilters (30) which were comparable for both techniques. In spite of the comparable total replacement fluid, the ratios of post : predilution compartment were inferior in the simple mid‐dilution technique.…”
