This book gives a complete description of online hemodiafiltration,
in five sections. It is unique in the systematic and complete way
in which hemodiafiltration is described. Each chapter is completed
by a point-to-point summary of essential information, in a separate
text box. Part of the book is dedicated to the theoretical
background of convective clearance. In this part, safety issues and
quality control is reviewed (especially on the quality of water for
dialysis and substitution fluid), as well as equipment (both
dialyzers and machines) with which this treatment can be performed.
As recently the results of several randomized controlled trials
were available, the effect of hemodiafiltration on hard clinical
end points (mortality and morbidity) is discussed in detail. This
has not been done before, as the most recent book/journal on
hemodiafiltration was published in 2011, before the results of the
3 randomized controlled trials were published. Furthermore, the
methodological quality of the trials is discussed by an expert, in
order to help the readers in their judgment of the trials Part of
the book concentrates on the effect of the treatment on several
biomarkers and uremic toxins. Several clinically relevant issues is
discussed separately, such as the prescription of anticoagulation
during the treatment, drug prescription and clearance for patients
treated with hemodiafiltration, and hemodynamic stability. Finally,
a practical guide on how to perform the treatment is provided. In
this unique section, seemingly simple but important details of
hemodiafiltration-treatment is discussed, such as the importance of
needle size for blood flow rates, the difference between filtration
fraction and substitution ratio, the different targets that can be
set and how to reach them. As most literature is mainly focused on
theoretical issues, this unique feature really will help the field
to perform hemodiafiltration, and answer practical questions.
