A randomized cross-over trial of pre-and post-filter hemodiafiltration modalities in children on maintenance dialysis -- effects on solute removal and blood pressure

Key takeaways

Children on long-term dialysis tried two versions of hemodiafiltration, a dialysis method that pulls extra fluid through the filter to clear more waste. Each child had both versions in turn, at several hospitals. The trial compared waste removal, inflammation, nutrition and blood pressure. The summary we have does not say how many children took part, how long the trial lasted, or which method did better, so it is small, early evidence at most.
