There are various modalities depending on the location where the replacement volume is administered in the extracorporeal circuit: pre-dilution, mixed or mid-dilution and post-dilution, in which the infusion is carried out pre-dilution, pre- and post-dilution simultaneously and post-dilution, respectively. Objective: Compare the clearance of small, medium-sized and protein-bound molecules and the convective volume administered in online HDF (OL-HDF) in post-dilution and mixed (pre-post-dilution) infusion. Material and method: A prospective, randomised, crossover study comparing post-dilution and mixed OL-HDF. Patients (n=8) were randomly assigned to receive 6 sessions in each technique. We conducted 89 sessions, of which 68 were at a scheduled time (ST) and 21 at an effective time (ET). We determined the reduction rate (RR) percentages for various substances and the infusion volumes. The RR study was performed using ET. Results: The KT value obtained was greater with post-dilution OL-HDF [68 (8.1) compared to 64.9 (8.8) litres] (P=.009) when patients were dialysed at ST. This difference disappeared when dialysis was performed at ET. The difference between ST and ET was greater in mixed HDF than in post-dilution HDF [10.3 (7.4) compared to 6.5 (3.1) minutes, P=.02]. We found no differences in the RR of the substances analysed. Conclusion: Mixed OL-HDF is not inferior to post-dilution OL-HDF either in the clearance of small and medium-sized molecules or in the clearance of protein-bound molecules at the same ET. ER -
