Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Hemodialysis (HD) is classically performed with dialysis fluid flow (Qd) at 500 mL/min, we consider that in HD with modern high flux dialyzers, Qd can be adjusted to body size of patients without impact on dialysis efficacy.Our aim was to determine if there is a difference in dialysis efficacy patients treated with dialysate flow (Qd) of 400 mL/min vs Qd of 500 mL/min.
