Table 2. Mean serum levels (before dialysis sessions) of uremic solutes in patients enrolled in the HDFit trial: HDF vs. HD.
Biomarker | Impact of HDF compared to high-flow HD |
---|---|
Kt/V | Increase of 0.1 unit in 6 months |
URR (%) | 2.5% reduction in 6 months |
Phosphorus (mg/dL) | Reduction of 0.4 mg/dL in 3 months |
P-cresyl sulfate (umol/L) | Reduction of 2.4 umol/L per month |
Indoxyl sulfate (umol/L) | Reduction of 2.9 umol/L per month |
Beta-2 microglobulin (mg/L) | Reduction of 1.6 mg/L per month |
Monthly averages describe the mean differences during six months of follow-up. URR: urea removal rate. *Subgroup of patients with median convection volume > 27.5 L/session.
