It was reported that amino acid infusion during hemodialysis is useful for improving nutritional status. The optimal administration method of amino acid infusion under the high-volume pre-dilution on-line HDF (HVPO-HDF) was analyzed in this study. Subjects were 10 patients on maintenance dialysis at our clinic.

The subjects were patients receiving pre-dilution on-line HDF (n = 10) or HD (n = 10) at this hospital. Dialysis time was 4 h for all patients.

- A 55-year-old dialysis patient with restless legs syndrome (RLS) initially experienced issues with predilution online hemodiafiltration (HDF) due to high transmembrane pressure (TMP), leading to unstable treatment conditions.
- The integration of a new constant-pressure predilution online HDF system effectively controlled TMP, keeping it below 200 mmHg and improving the α1-microglobulin removal rate.
- As a result, the patient has been symptom-free with an International Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS) score of 0 for the past 4 years, requiring no adjustments to the flow rate during treatment.
