...) patients who achieved the highest convection volumes had the lowest mortality risk. The aims of this study were (1) to identify determinants of convection volume and (2) to assess whether differences exist between patients achieving high and low volumes. Methods: HDF patients from the CONvective TRAnsport...

The major differences between them are the mode of fluid preparation and thus the quality of the fluid, the way the fluid is administered and whether the convection volume can be prescribed and measured. The strong belief in HDF therapy became evident in a survey conducted among nephrology...
