Abstract

Online hemodiafiltration may improve clinical outcome in end-stage kidney disease. The supposed mechanism is the improved clearance of uremic toxins by the convective transport which is added to the standard diffusive transport. This review summarizes the effects of hemodiafiltration on mortality, inflammation and health-related quality of life.
