Effects on inflammatory and nutritional markers of haemodiafiltration with online regeneration of ultrafiltrate (HFR) vs online haemodiafiltration: a cross-over randomized multicentre trial

Abstract

Haemodiafiltration with online regeneration of ultrafiltrate and online HDF are highly biocompatible techniques and no significant difference between HFR and online HDF was observed in terms of reduction of inflammatory markers. Further studies with a longer follow-up are needed to evaluate the clinical relevance of the online endogenous reinfusion to counteract the chronic inflammatory state of the uraemic patient.
