Comparison of mortality on hemodiafilter materials in online hemodiafiltration
Background Although mortality is significantly lower with polyethersulfone (PES) membrane compared with polysulfone (PS) membrane in hemodialysis patients, no studies have investigated mortality in patients undergoing online hemodiafiltration (OHDF ...

Effects of high-volume online mixed-hemodiafiltration on anemia management in dialysis patients.
BackgroundAnemia is a major comorbidity of patients with end-stage renal disease and poses an enormous economic burden to health-care systems. High dose erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) have been associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes.

Hyperammonemia due to urea cycle disorders: a potentially fatal condition in the intensive care setting [PDF]
Disorders of the urea cycle are secondary to a defect in the system that converts ammonia into urea, resulting in accumulation of ammonia and other products. This results in encephalopathy, coma, and death if not recognized and treated rapidly.

[Online hemodiafiltration: Practical aspects, safety and efficacy].
Purification of high molecular uremic toxins by conventional hemodialysis is limited. It remains associated with a high morbidity and excessively high mortality. Online hemodiafiltration using a high permeability hemodiafilter, an ultrapure dialysate, and which tends to maximize substitution volumes, provides a high efficiency and low bio ...
