RRI Conference 2022 | Timothy Meyer "Improving Solutes Clearances by Hemodialysis"

The adequacy of hemodialysis is now assessed by measuring the removal of the single solute urea. Other solutes however likely contribute more than urea to the residual uremic illness suffered by hemodialysis patients. We here review methods which could be employed to increase the clearance of non-urea solutes. New clinical studies will be required to test the extent to which increasing the clearance on non-urea solutes with these various characteristics can improve patients' health.
