#2406 Switching from hemodialysis to high-volume hemodiafiltration does not require adjustment of dialysate sodium in clinical practice Open
Background and Aims The CONVINCE study has shown a reduced mortality in high-volume hemodiafiltration (HV-HDF) compared to standard hemodialysis (HD) [1]. However, doubts arose as to whether high substitution rates in HV-HDF affect the int…

The Donnan equilibrium is still valid in high-volume HDF Open
Clinical studies have shown that hemodiafiltration reduces morbidity and mortality of dialysis patients compared to hemodialysis alone. This is attributed to its superior middle molecule clearance compared to standard hemodialysis. However…

Does online high-volume hemodiafiltration offer greater efficiency and sustainability compared with high-flux hemodialysis? A detailed simulation analysis anchored in real-world data Open
Recent findings, including the CONVINCE (comparison of high-dose HDF with high-flux HD) study report, suggest the superiority of high-volume hemodiafiltration (HDF) over high-flux hemodialysis (HD) in improving patients’ outcomes. Despite …

#1094 Hemodiafiltration improves solute clearance without increasing water consumption: an educational bench model for the dialysis ward Open
Background and Aims Recently, the positive results of the CONVICE trial have raised the question whether the improved outcome of postdilution high volume HDF (oHDF-p) compared to high flux HD (hfHD) requires increased water consumption. Fr…

WCN24-2641 DOES HIGH-VOLUME HEMODIAFILTRATION IN POSTDILUTION REQUIRE MORE WATER THAN HIGHFLUX HEMODIALYSIS? Open
In the CONVINCE trial, the use of high-volume hemodiafiltration (HDF) resulted in a lower risk of death from any cause than conventional high-flux hemodialysis (HD) (Blankestijn, NEJM, 2023). However, concerns have been raised that HDF wou…

Sodium First Approach, to Reset Our Mind for Improving Management of Sodium, Water, Volume and Pressure in Hemodialysis Patients, and to Reduce Cardiovascular Burden and Improve Outcomes Open
New physiologic findings related to sodium homeostasis and pathophysiologic associations require a new vision for sodium, fluid and blood pressure management in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients. The traditional dry weight…

Hidden risks associated with conventional short intermittent hemodialysis: A call for action to mitigate cardiovascular risk and morbidity Open
The development of maintenance hemodialysis (HD) for end stage kidney disease patients is a success story that continues to save many lives. Nevertheless, intermittent renal replacement therapy is also a source of recurrent stress for pati…

P1067CONDUCTIVITY BASED ONLINE MONITORING OF PREDIALYTIC HYPONATREAMIA AS DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IN HEMODIALYIS Open
Background and Aims Hyponatremia in dialysis patients is a strong indicator of poor outcome in dialysis patients that requires early detection to facilitate clinical workup and management. However, plasma sodium concentration as determined…

Automated individualization of dialysate sodium concentration reduces intradialytic plasma sodium changes in hemodialysis Open
In standard care, hemodialysis patients are often treated with a center‐specific fixed dialysate sodium concentration, potentially resulting in diffusive sodium changes for patients with plasma sodium concentrations below or above this lev…
