Patients with renal failure retain a large variety of uraemic solutes, characterized by different kinetic behaviour. It is not entirely clear what the impact is of increasing dialysis frequency and/or duration on removal efficiency. This study shows that prolonged dialysis significantly reduces solute concentration levels. Increasing both dialysis frequency and duration is the superior dialysis schedule. |
