12 Weeks of Hemodialysis With Medium Cut-Off Filter Compared to Hemodiafiltration With Standard High-flux Filter.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The medium cut-off dialysis (MCO) membrane has been developed to improve middle molecule removal compared to standard high-flux dialysis filters.
The aim of this study is to compare levels of middle molecules after 12 weeks of MCO hemodialysis, compared to 12 weeks of hemodiafiltration using standard high-flux filter.
