Abstract

- Chronic inflammation is highly prevalent among end-stage renal disease patients and is linked to, and thought to contribute to, the high morbidity and mortality in this patient population. Hemodiafiltration (HDF) may potentially reduce inflammatory stimuli induced by the bioincompatibility of conventional hemodialysis (HD) systems. In addition, HDF may more efficiently remove inflammatory mediators. This brief review shows that the circulating levels of various markers of systemic inflammation in general are somewhat reduced in patients treated by HDF as compared to HD. On the other hand, according to the current literature, this favorable small impact on inflammation biomarkers does not seem to translate into better clinical outcomes. It is possible that this is due to inadequate design, inadequate number of investigated patients and too short duration of previous studies. The results of larger, better-designed ongoing prospective studies may hopefully clarify this.
