High-flux hemodiafiltration: under six hours/week treatment.
Better utilization of existing high blood flow in mature vascular accesses with the described new technique of simultaneous high diffusion and convection results in a marked increase of treatment efficiency. Coupled with the better tolerance to high solute and weight removal rates, this approach permits drastic reduction of treatment time over conventional hemodialysis without sacrificing treatment adequacy.
