Effect of online hemodiafiltration on cardiovascular risk profile in children with end stage kidney disease.

Article C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

38 children with kidney failure, 21 boys and 17 girls, were switched from standard dialysis to online hemodiafiltration, a version that filters the blood more thoroughly. Researchers checked their heart and blood vessel health before the switch and again 12 months later. Every child got the same treatment, with no comparison group, so this shows a link rather than proof the switch caused any change. It is a conference abstract, so the full results have not been published.
