Impact of Albumin Leakage on the Mortality of Patients Receiving Hemodialysis or Online Hemodiafiltration.

ABSTRACT: Background: Online hemodiafiltration (OHDF) has a lower mortality rate than hemodialysis (HD). We aimed to investigate the impact of the albumin leakage on the mortality of patients receiving HD or OHDF. Methods: In this single-center study, consecutive patients receiving renal replacement therapy between January and April 2018 were retrospectively registered. Using (1:1) propensity score matching, 3-year all-cause mortality was compared between patients receiving HD and OHDF, and the impact of albumin leakage on the mortality rate in both groups was investigated. Results: Of the 460 patients, 137 patients receiving HD were matched with an equal number of patients receiving OHDF. OHDF was associated with higher albumin leakage (p < 0.001) and a lower mortality t
