Brief Summary

Conventional hemodialysis is essential for the treatment of ESRD patients by reducing serum concentration of uremic toxins and correcting fluid overload. Nevertheless, HD removes almost exclusively low-range uremic toxins. Convective methods might reduce complications associated to molecules of medium-range molecular weight. On-Line Hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) is the result of the combination between convection and diffusion, this modality allows better clearence of middle-range molecules, and protein bound molecules with better hemodynamic tolerance, but at higher cost. In order to solve this problem the middle cut-off membranes were developed, achieving cleareance of molecules between 15,000 to 40,000 Da with low albumin loss. To our knowledge no study has ever evaluated the use of middle cut-off membranes on OL-HDF. This is a prospective, experimental study which will include 12 patients with ESRD that receive OL-HDF treatment on the National Institute of Cardiology "Ignacio Chavez" OL-HDF Unit. They will be divided in 4 groups: high flux HD, extended HD (HDx), OL-HDF, and OL-HDF with medium cut-off membrane.

CROSSOVER
Model Details: 12 patients will be included, they will be divided in 4 groups: high flux HD, extended HD (HDx), OL-HDF, and OL-HDF with medium cut-off membrane. All sessions will be performed in a 5008S CorDiax that enables HD and OL-HDF, we will use an FX CorDiax 80 dializer (effective area 1.8 m2) for OL-HDF and conventional HD, and the Theranova 400 dializer (effective area 1.7 m2)for OL-HDF with medium cut-off membrane, and HDx. Every patient will be in each of the 4 groups, and they will receive 3 sessions in each group. Every session will have a duration of 240 minutes with a Qb of 300 mL/min. Blood samples will be drawn in every session, every blood sample will consist of 4-6 mL of EDTA plasma; this volumen would include 0.5 mL for biobanking, blood will be drawn from the arterial, and venous outlet, and a dialysate sample will be drawn in every time point.
