Study Overview
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of convection achieved with two different haemodiafilters designed for haemodiafiltration and clotting during haemodiafiltration treatment.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective observational cohort pilot study of patients under the care of the Royal Free Hospital with chronic kidney disease who have been established on regular thrice weekly haemodiafiltration treatments in a dialysis centre. Information on the study will be disseminated to the Royal Free consultant nephrologists at the dialysis centre with primary responsibility for the individual patient.
