In this chapter we discuss hemodiafiltration (HDF) as treatment option for patients with end-stage kidney disease. The concept was introduced decades ago, but only when technological developments made it possible to produce substitution fluid online and when this process was allowed by regulatory authorities that the modality received wider attention ...

Sodium modeling in hemodiafiltration
A computer model was developed to simulate sodium and water kinetics during hemodiafiltration (HDF), acetate-free biofiltration (AFB) and hemodialysis (HD). Multiple regression analysis of the results of 3,240 simulated applications of the model (1,620 HDF, 1,080 AFB, 540 HD) showed that, during HDF and AFB, there is a close correlation (R2 = 0.92 and ...

Population pharmacokinetics of fluconazole in critically ill patients receiving continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration - using Monte Carlo Simulations to predict doses for specified pharmacodynamic targets [PDF]
Fluconazole is a widely used antifungal agent that is extensively reabsorbed in patients with normal renal function. However, its reabsorption can be compromised in patients with acute kidney injury, thereby leading to altered fluconazole clearance and ...

Abstract Tacrolimus is a first‐line immunosuppressant used after solid organ transplantation that suffers from extensive intra‐ and inter‐patient variability and a narrow therapeutic window. Its critical role in a fragile population, coupled with the difficulties identifying and maintaining an appropriate dose within a given patient, make it an ideal ...
