Interdialytic blood pressure is independent of weight gain and correlated with serum angiotensin II levels in adults [PDF]
Physiological ReportsChronic volume overload is a major risk factor of hypertension and mortality in chronic dialysis patients. However, the mechanisms responsible for hypertension are unclear. We studied 32 patients (age 23–68 years, 19 females) in chronic hemodiafiltration

Intradialytic cerebral blood flow reduction occurs irrespective of vascular access type: a comparative study [PDF]
BMC NephrologyBackground Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) experience reductions in cerebral blood flow (CBF) during treatment. It remains unclear whether these changes are more pronounced in individuals with arteriovenous fistula (AVF).

Are medium cut-off membranes the future, or the promising reality for chronic hemodialysis patients?
Revista de Investigación Clínica, 2023 The development of hemodialysis (HD) membranes has substantially advanced in the last decade. This has resulted in the manufacturing of medium cut-off membranes (MCO) whose internal architecture is based on greater pore size and a smaller diameter, thus ...
