Different elimination patterns of β‐trace protein, β₂‐microglobulin and cystatin C in haemodialysis, haemodiafiltration and haemofiltration

Abstract

The three dialysis modalities showed significantly different elimination patterns for the LMMPs studied. Elimination of beta-trace protein was lower than those of cystatin C and beta(2)-microglobulin both in HDF and HF. beta-trace protein was only moderately eliminated by HDF and not at all by HF, and may be a useful marker in the evaluation of different convective therapies.
