3 Mechanisms of solute removal
1- Diffusion: Solute removal according to concentration difference between plasma water and the dialysate. Is greatest for small molecules removal Small molecules have better access to the membrane Increase with increasing the small solute conce. gradient Membrane factors: Sieving coefficient, porosity of the
membrane, diffusivity & thickness of the membrane Decreases with increasing molecular size of a solute
![Page 6: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Basic Principles of solute removal
2- Convection: solute clearance occurs as a result of water flow through the membrane in response to hydrostatic pressure difference between the two sides of the membrane.(solvent drag). The driving force is a pressure gradient rather than a concentration
gradient The major impact comes from the solute size relative to the
membrane pores size (radius) Iis determined exclusively by the sieving properties of the
membrane, S=1 for Water Is more important for solute removal as the molecular size of the
solute increases. Serves 2 purposes: water and solute removal along.
![Page 7: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Basic Principles of solute removal
3- Adsorption: Plasma proteins being adsorbed to the surface of the membrane. ( So, effect is limited to LMW Proteins clearance) Difficult t estimate High flux membranes has more protein adsorption than Low
Flux membranes ( Larger pores) Ay decrease the Diffusive & Convective transport of LMW
proteins.

Determinants of Convective Transport Across Membranes:• Water flux across the membrane• Pore size and pore size distribution of the membrane• Molecular size (molecular mass)• Hydrostatic pressure difference • Viscosity of the fluid in the membrane pores • Molecular shape and configuration• Charges (solutes and membranes)
![Page 10: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Important Dialyzer character relevant to its Convective function:
Ucoeff or KUF: ( mL/h/mm Hg)It characterizes the membrane’s permeability to water.The higher Ucoeff is, the greater the permeability to waterThe higher Ucoeff is, the greater contribution of CONVECTION (solvent drag) to solute removal (middle molecules)
![Page 11: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Dialyzers are classified as:
Ucoeff (ml/h/mm Hg)
β2-Microglobulin Clearance ( mL/min)
Conventional ≤ 12 ≤ 10
High-flux > 14 ( > 40 ) >20
- Some refer to “FLUX” as ability to remove ß2-M.- High-Flux dialyzers: are considered convective dialyzers ( Filtration and back filtration of 6-8 L over 4 hs conventional HD session.

Both the Hemodialysis (HEMO) study and the Membrane Permeability Outcome (MPO) study compared low-fl ux hemodialysis with high-fl ux hemodialysis. Neither study showed a difference in mortality risk between the treatment arms.In HEMO, High-flux HD was associated with an 8% non-significant reduction of mortality compared with low-flux HDSecondary analyses in the HEMO and MPO studies suggested a survival benefit of high-flux hemodialysis in patients with a dialysis vintage >3.7 years, patients with diabetes, and if serum albumin < 40 g/L at baseline.

• All-cause and CV mortality was 12.9%/year(HD) and 5.9%/year(HDF)
• CRP and pro-inflammatory cytokines showed an increased risk for CV (RR 1.9, P < 0.001) and all-cause mortality (RR 2.57, P < 0.001)
• HDF patients had a significantly increased adjusted cumulative survival than BHD (P < 0.01)

Conventional HD= Diffusion + convection (UF) for excess fluid removal + convective clearance LMW (if high flux)
If Convective clearance is augmented (large convective volume applied) for the sake of improving LMW proteins clearance:
Diffusion + Convection ( LMW P. removal) +
UF (excess fluid removal) = Hemodiafiltration (HDF)
![Page 21: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HDF is a blood purification therapy combing diffusive and convective solute transport using high -flux membranes characterized by an ultrafiltration coefficient >
20 ml/h/mm Hg/m² and a sieving coefficient for ß2- microglobulin greater than 0.6
Convective transport is achieved by an effective convection volume of at least 20 %
of the total blood volume processed.
Appropriate fluid balance is maintained by external infusion of an ultrapure, non -
pyrogenic solution into the patient`s blood.
![Page 22: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hemodiafiltration; beside the ongoing diffusive therapy in the HD part, it relies on a large convective volume requiring substitution fluid equal to the convicted volume.
(e.g. 15 Ls to be convicted over 4hs in an HDF session then it has to be replaced simultaneously with another 15 Ls of Ultra-pure water based substitution solution)
![Page 23: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Advantages of HDF:• Enhanced small, middle and larger m removal• Protein-bound uremic solute clearance• Better intradialytic hemodynamic stability • Reduced inflammation & infection• Anemia correction • Improved phosphate control• Improved CV status

Achieving higher convection volumes
• Higher Qb• Higher serum albumin • Lower hematocrit high haemoglobin and low albumin may attenuate convection by reducing filtration fraction

DOPPS- If all HD combined, low-efficiency HDF (RR 0.92, P. =0.066) and for high-efficiency HDF again significantly lower (RR. 0.64, P.=0.005).- HDF pts. tended to have a greater likelihood of lower inflammatory markers tested.- Kt/V 1.44 (high efficiency) versus 1.35 (low-flux HD)- Patients treated by HDF versus HD tended to be slightly older, have higher body weight, and have longer average time on renal replacement therapy (treating MD preference bias) - It is possible that patients were preferentially selected for HDF because of their higher weight and their poor clinical conditions, specially cardiovascular diseases.

CONTRAST
1- Violation of the study protocol ( time on HDF and CV delivered below target)2- Inclusion of prevalent not incident patients3- Selection bias5- 33% of pts. Were censored before reaching the endpoint or completing the study.4- RRF not monitored 4-In December 2010, the board recommended to stop the trial because enough evidence was provided for futility (i.e., no clear efficacy of hemodiafiltration over hemodialysis)

• In 2006, meta-analysis of 17 randomized trials (600 participants) comparing convective with diffusive dialysis, convective modalities had uncertain effects on mortality in low-quality evidence, and data for adverse events were sparse.
![Page 63: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
published and unpublished data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi RCTs that evaluated convective dialysis therapies (HDF, HF, or acetate-free biofiltration) compared with HD. Before 2006 plus after 2006 publications through Feb. 2013.

• Overall, 22 trials (3,217 participants) compared HDF with HD, using fluid generated online (online HDF)
• Twelve trials (34%) used high-flux, 16 trials (46%) used low-flux membranes, 4 trials (11%) used either low- or high-flux membranes, and in 3 trials (9%), membrane flux was unclear
![Page 65: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
• Convection strategies were highly heterogeneous and no trial randomly assigned participants to specific targeted convection volumes.
• 2,402 (59%) were derived from 3 large RCTs evaluating online HDF

• Trials generally had very serious limitations due to risks of bias in most domains leading to downgrading of overall evidence quality.
• Risks of bias were high or unclear for sequence generation (80% of RCTs) and allocation concealment (all RCTs)
• Blinding of both participants and investigators was not clearly reported in any trial
• There was selective reporting of outcomes in all except 2 trials (94%).
![Page 68: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• Of the 3 largest trials contributing to meta-analyses, ESHOL; did not include 39.1% of randomly assigned patients in analysesTurkish Online HDF study, 20.5% of participants left the study for reasons other than death, including 10% of participants allocated to HDF due to vascular access problems

All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality
• 11 trials (3,396 pts.) in low-quality evidence: convective dialysis had little or no effect on all-cause mortality (RR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.70-1.07)
• In 6 RCTs ( 2,889 pts.), in low-quality evidence: convective therapy may reduce death from cardiovascular causes compared with HD (RR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58- 0.97)
![Page 74: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality
Convective therapy might prevent 25 cardiovascular deaths for every 1,000 patients treated for 1 year, but has no significant effect on death overall.
![Page 75: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
• Very low-quality evidence: no difference in the change in quality of life
• At a very significant heterogeneity ( I2 > 85% ) among the trials: - Reduced predialysis serum β2-microglobulin levels (in 12 RCTs mean difference, -5.77 [95% CI, -10.97 to -0.56] mg/dL) - Increased Kt/V (14 RCTs; 2,115 participants) mean difference, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.02- 0.19)

CONTRAST, ESHOL and TURKISH OL-HDF study;Suggested better overall outcome with higher CV; this conclusion might not be supported by acceptable evidence level. - NO randomization to high CV- May had better accesses - May received longer therapy time to achive high CV

• Data for adverse events were sparse, questions about potential harms from convection therapy cannot be answered with confidence using the existing RCT evidence.
• Insufficient data was available to assess the effect of RRF
![Page 78: Hemodialysis vs. Hemodiafiltration](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568165c1550346895dd8c831/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
In conclusion
• Convective dialysis modalities had little or no effect on all-cause mortality and may reduce cardiovascular death and hypotension during dialysis, but had uncertain effects on rates of nonfatal cardiovascular events and hospitalization.
• The available evidence quality is low or very low. The true effects of treatment might be substantially different.

Conclusion
1- OL-HDF is a safe modality of RRT provided high standards of quality in water treatment are applied.2- Effect in CV mortality POSSIBLY beneficial, but for overall mortality, not yet. 3- The cost effectiveness is not well studied, but might dissipate with time.4- The available quality of evidence does not justify making the OL-HDF therapy as the first line option or the standard of care.5- More high quality evidence is needed at this stage.
