Now there is some good news for patients undergoing dialysis as now they can get benefited from a new procedure that removes additional toxins and may increase their longevity. A latest study has revealed the fact.
According to sources, a study has revealed regardomg a technique that removes additional toxins during dialysis may prolong kidney failure patients' lives.
A clinical trial appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN) has stated the study.
The study suggests that retrospective studies suggest that on-line hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), which is different from standard dialysis, uses so-called high convective transport to remove additional substances over a wide range of sizes may reduce kidney failure patients' risk of dying prematurely compared with standard hemodialysis.
The findings by the team at Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, Spain indicate that OL-HDF may indeed prolong kidney failure patients' lives compared with conventional hemodialysis.
According to Francisco Maduell, who was part of the study team, "In view of this study's results, OL-HDF may become the first-line option in hemodialysis patients."
