Reduction ratios of middle molecules. (a) Reduction ratio at baseline. (b) Reduction ratio at 12 weeks after randomization. At baseline, all patients used a high-flux membrane. The error bars indicate the standard error. The specifications of the MCO and high-flux dialyzers are as follows (dialyzer [type of dialyzer, membrane polymer, inner diameter, wall thickness, effective surface area]): Theranova 400 (medium cut-off, polyarylethersulfone-PVP, 180 μm, 35 μm, 1.7 m2); FX CorDiax 80 (high-flux, polysulfone-PVP, 185 μm, 35 μm, 1.8 m2); FX CorDiax 60 (high-flux, polysulfone-PVP, 185 μm, 35 μm, 1.4 m2), respectively. Abbreviations: MCO, medium cut-off; FX80, FX CorDiax 80; FX60, FX CorDiax 60; β2-MG, β2-microglobulin; κFLC, kappa free light chain; λFLC, lambda free light chain; PVP, polyvinylpyrrolidone.
