HighVolumeHDF
The Catalonian HighVolumeHDF study
The Catalonian HighVolumeHDF study data are clearly impressive — confirming our original conviction that every patient should get the chance to benefit from HighVolumeHDF.
Improved Survival
Compared with patients maintained on conventional high-flux haemodialysis, those randomised to high-efficiency postdilution online haemodiafiltration had a significantly lower all-cause mortality. The estimated number needed to treat (NNT) showed that to prevent one annual death eight patients would need to be switched from haemodialysis to online haemodiafiltration.
