Effectiveness of High-volume Online Hemodiafiltration Compared to Standard Volume Online Hemodiafiltration. A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-labelled Interventional Study.
Effectiveness of High-volume Online Hemodiafiltration Compared to Standard Volume Online Hemodiafiltration. A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-labelled Interventional Study.
Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) may improve clinical outcome in end-stage renal disease. The supported mechanism is the improved clearance of uremic toxins by convective transporter. However, It has not been elucidated which convection volume is optimal, especially in Asia. A total of 60 participants receiving conventional hemodialysis will be randomly assigned to receive either high dose convective volume (33-43 L/treatment) post-dilution online HDF or standard dose (16.8-21.5 L/treatment) for 24 weeks. The primary outcome is the change of serum β2 microglobulin levels between baseline and after 24 weeks. The secondary outcomes will include changes in the nutritional markers, inflammatory markers, and blood pressure from baseline to after treatment.
This would be the first multicenter prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine whether large convective volume improves the treatment efficacy in Korean patients undergoing post-dilution online HDF.
