Effects of high-flux hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration on the mortality of patients with end-stage kidney disease: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-flux hemodialysis (HFHD) is widely used in hemodialysis centers and is the mode of hemodialysis actively recommended by the guidelines. Additionally, hemodiafiltration (HDF) is widely used in clinical practice. However, there are some inconsistencies in the results of studies on the effects of HDF and HFHD, which has caused controversy regarding which of these two dialysis modalities to select.

Objective

To explore the effect of HFHD and HDF on the survival of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).

Methods

A systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases was conducted, focusing on cohort studies and randomized controlled trials on hemodialysis in patients with ESKD using HFHD or HDF. A meta-analysis
