Effects of low-flux and high-flux hemodialysis on the survival of elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients

CONCLUSIONS: High-flux hemodialysis was associated with a lower relative risk of cardiovascular mortality in elderly MHD patients. High-flux hemodialysis did not improve all-cause mortality rate. Differences in urea distribution volume, blood flow, and systemic differences in solute clearance by dialyzers were not further analyzed, which are the limitations of this study.PMID:38584147 | PMC:PMC11000600 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2024.2338217
