Real-world effectiveness of hemodialysis modalities: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Results from the CONVINCE clinical trial suggest a 23% mortality risk reduction among patients receiving high-volume (> 23 L) hemodiafiltration. We assessed the real-world effectiveness of blood-based kidney replacement therapy (KRT) with hemodiafiltration vs. hemodialysis in a large, unselected patient population treated prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Various high-efficiency hemodialysis techniques exist, including different online high- volume hemodiafiltration (HDF) modes and expanded hemodialysis (HDx) utilizing dialyzers with medium cut-off (MCO) membranes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of uremic toxin removal among four modalities: (I) HDx, (II) pre-dilution HDF (PRE-HDF), (III) mixed-dilution HDF (MIX-HDF), and (IV) post-dilution HDF (POST-HDF), each applied for 1 week in a randomized order. This research was a single-center, prospective, open-label, exploratory crossover study.

Clinical studies have shown that hemodiafiltration reduces morbidity and mortality of dialysis patients compared to hemodialysis alone. This is attributed to its superior middle molecule clearance compared to standard hemodialysis. However, doubts arose as to whether a high convective flux through the dialyzer membrane has an influence on the equilibrium concentration of small ions, especially that of sodium.

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis and septic shock are serious conditions linked to infections and can lead to high mortality rates; this article reviews extracorporeal procedures for their treatment.
- Various treatments like HVHF, VHVHF, HCO, and Polymyxin B hemoperfusion aim to remove inflammatory substances but lack clear evidence for improving patient survival.
- Despite showing promise in initial studies, risks such as thrombosis and protein loss remain, and further research is needed to establish the safety and efficacy of these treatments for sepsis.
