Abstract
High-permeability artificial membranes were used in hemodialysis, in s oft hemodiafiltration (HDF; ultrafiltration rate 68 +/- 6 ml/min), and high-ultrafiltration HDF (ultrafiltration rate 117 +/- 7 ml/min), in order to compare the effect of the three techniques on small-solute re moval. Urea and creatinine clearances were significantly (p < 0.001) l ower on hemodialysis (195 +/- 18 and 143 +/- 8 ml/min) than on soft HD F (247 +/- 11 and 179 +/- 12 ml/min) and high-ultrafiltration HDF (236 +/- 18 and 172 +/- 12 ml/min). Since the two HDF techniques showed a similar effect on small-solute removal, the choice should relie upon t heir possible advantages or risks.
