Acute kidney injury develops in a 20-year-old man with Marfan's syndrome after aortic-valve replacement complicated by thoracic aortic dissection. Continuous renal-replacement therapy rather than i ...

High-dose hemodiafiltration led to substantially better survival of patients with end-stage kidney disease compared with conventional hemodialysis after a median 30 months in a large, prospective ...

With hemodialysis, a machine replaces kidney function with clever use of diffusion and convection to correct abnormalities in blood chemistry or volume overload.

When discussing dialysis physiology, I often make the joke that convection plus diffusion leads to confusion.Unfortunately, it is so with American nephrologists. Our only valid experience with ...

A growing body of evidence suggests hemodiafiltration vs hemodialysis provides a spectrum of clinical benefits for patients requiring dialysis.

The trial intervention was high-dose hemodiafiltration with on-line production of substitution fluid and ultrapure bicarbonate-based dialysis fluid at a convection volume of at least 23 liters per ...

Hemodiafiltration may be associated with better cardiovascular and overall survival vs. high-flux hemodialysis for patients on dialysis, according to a European Renal Association consensus ...

Hemodiafiltration is a dialysis technique -- used largely in the ICU setting in the U.S. but more commonly in Europe and Japan -- for ultrafiltration by both diffusion and convection to boost ...

A mounting wave of recent research argues that high-volume hemodiafiltration may significantly improve outcomes compared to standard hemodialysis.

Hemodiafiltration is poised to change the standard of care for administering dialysis in the US, following groundbreaking trial results. High-volume hemodiafiltration will be available in the ...
