Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Clearance of urea

    At the end of each hemodialysis procedure.

  • Clearance of creatinine

    At the end of each hemodialysis procedure.

  • Clearance of p-cresol

    At the end of each hemodialysis procedure.

  • White blood cell count

    At the start, after 15 minutes and at the end of each hemodialysis procedure.

  • Blood platelet count

    At the start, after 15 minutes and at the end of each hemodialysis procedure.
