Removal capacity of different high-flux dialyzers during postdilution online hemodiafiltration.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare molecule removal and albumin leakage in postdilution online hemodiafiltration with different high-flux dialyzers.

Methods: We studied seven high-flux dialyzers (Polyflux 210H®, Evodial 2.2®, FxCordiax1000®, Elisio21H®, TS-2.

[Metabolic syndrome is associated with cardiovascular events in haemodialysis].

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cardiovascular risk factor and is associated with mortality in the general population and in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, few studies have been carried out in patients on haemodialysis (HD).

Objectives: The objective of the study is to analyse the effect of MS on the occurrence of cardiovascular events in HD.
