Citrate high volume on-line hemodiafiltration modulates serum Interleukin-6 and Klotho levels: the multicenter randomized controlled study "Hephaestus".

CONCLUSIONS: Citrate buffer modulated IL-6, hsCRP and Klotho levels during high volume OL-HDF. These results are not attributable to differences in the dialysis schedule and may suggest a potential anti-inflammatory and anti-senescent effect of citrate even in dialysis patients with low grade inflammation.
