Background: Natraemia in haemodialysis (HD) patients is considered constant contrary to daily clinical observations. Its relationship with clinical parameters, dialysis parameters and body water (BW) distribution is not clear.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to know 1) the intraindividual variability of natraemia, 2) the relationship between natraemia and clinical and dialysis parameters and 3) the relationship between natraemia and BW distribution by bioimpedance.

Introduction: Haemodiafiltration (HDF) with high reinfusion volumes is the most effective technique for clearing uraemic toxins. There are various modalities depending on the location where the replacement volume is administered in the extracorporeal circuit: pre-dilution, mixed or mid-dilution and post-dilution, in which the infusion is carried out pre-dilution, pre- and post-dilution simultaneously and post-dilution, respectively.

Objective: Compare the clearance of small, medium-sized and protein-bound molecules and the convective volume administered in online HDF (OL-HDF) in post-dilution and mixed (pre-post-dilution) infusion.

Objectives: Multiplexing technologies based on the use of microspheres as the solid phase have opened new possibilities for the analysis of autoantibodies. As an alternative to the traditional immunoassays, it is possible to use these methods in combination with flow cytometry for simultaneous measurement of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-Tg) antibodies.

Design And Methods: We studied 127 serum samples sent to our laboratory for the quantitation of anti-TPO and anti-Tg antibodies.
