Continuous renal-replacement therapy includes a spectrum of dialysis methods developed in the 1980s specifically for the treatment of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury who could not ...

The results show that high-dose HDF, with a convection volume of greater than 23 L/session, improved overall survival by 23% compared with hemodialysis, a significant difference for the study's ...

The target volume of at least 23±1 liters per session for high-dose convection was achieved in 92% of delivered hemodiafiltration sessions, whereas the mean convection volume among the patients ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Yan Zhang, MD, and colleagues from Fresenius Medical Care, examined the dialysis modalities and the risk for hospital admission among 78,608 real-world patients treated from 2019 to 2022 at ...

In standard hemodialysis, diffusion is used to encourage small molecules and fluids to pass out of the blood and into a dialysis fluid solution. Adding convection to the mix, as in Hv-HDF, allows ...

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 ...
