Abstract:

The aim of this study was to survey adequacy of dialysis prescription with hemodialysis (HD) and different modalities of hemodiafiltration (HDF) and treatment outcomes in Spain. A questionaire of dialysis prescription was send to all National dialysis units. A total of 3361 questionaires of patients on maintenance dialysis were received.

Only 2282 who fulfilled all criteria were selected. Kt/V and pcr (corrected by residual renal function), TAC and body surface area were calculated. The patients were treated with HD (n = 2112): 1125 with Acetate (HDAc) and 987 with Bicarbonate (HDBi); and HDF (n = 170): 103 in Biofiltration (BIO), 33 in Acetate …
