High-flux Hemodialysis Versus Hemodiafiltration for End-Stage Renal Disease

---

Brief description of study

This study evaluates the effect of high-flux hemodialysis compared to hemodiafiltration on small and moderate molecule substances clearance. Meanwhile, this study evaluates the effect of high-flux hemodialysis compared to hemodiafiltration on cardiac function. In this self matching study, participants will receive high-flux hemodialysis compared to hemodiafiltration.

Detailed Study Description

Hemodialysis using diffusion, ultrafiltration and convection principle to remove harmful substances in the blood and excessive water, is one of the most commonly replacement therapy.

Hemodiafiltration is a combination of hemodialysis and hemofiltration with two modes of treatment advantages, both by diffusion and convection principle to remove harmful substances in the blood.
