: High-volume online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) has proven to be the most efficient dialysis modality and to offer better clinical outcomes in patients on hemodialysis. Longer and more frequent dialysis sessions have demonstrated clinical and survival benefits. : A single-center observational study of the first one hundred patients on nocturnal every-other-day OL-HDF was conducted with the aim of reporting the experience with this treatment schedule and evaluating analytical and clinical outcomes as well as the patient and technique survival.

Malnutrition is prevalent among hemodialysis patients, negatively impacting their quality of life (QoL) and chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). This study investigates the association between the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) and CKD-aP, as well as QoL, in hemodialysis patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 479 HD patients (279 males and 200 females) referred to eight dialysis centers.

Additionally, elements related to the renal transplant itself, such as living donors, corticosteroid usage, and graft functioning, further compound the challenge.
