Mortality and cardiovascular events in online haemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) compared with high-flux dialysis: results from the Turkish OL-HDF Study
Ercan Ok,Gulay Asci,Huseyin Toz,Ebru Sevinc Ok,Fatih Kircelli,Mümtaz Yilmaz,Ender Hur,Meltem Sezis Demirci,Cenk Demirci,Soner Duman,Ali Basci,Siddig Momin Adam,Ismet Onder Isik,Murat Zengin,Gultekin Suleymanlar,Mehmet Emin Yilmaz,Mehmet Ozkahya +16 more
TL;DR: The composite of all-cause mortality and nonfatal cardiovascular event rate was not different in the OL-HDF and in the high-flux HD groups and, in a post hoc analysis, OL-hDF treatment with substitution volumes over 17.4 L was associated with better cardiovascular and overall survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Fluid Management Guided by Bioimpedance Spectroscopy on Cardiovascular Parameters in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Ender Hur,Mehmet Usta,Huseyin Toz,Gulay Asci,Peter Wabel,Serdar Kahvecioglu,Meral Kayıkçıoğlu,Meltem Sezis Demirci,Mehmet Ozkahya,Soner Duman,Ercan Ok +10 more
TL;DR: Assessment of fluid overload with bioimpedance spectroscopy provides better management of fluid status, leading to regression of left ventricular mass index, decrease in blood pressure, and improvement in arterial stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haemodiafiltration and mortality in end-stage kidney disease patients: a pooled individual participant data analysis from four randomized controlled trials
Sanne A.E. Peters,Michiel L. Bots,Bernard Canaud,Andrew Davenport,Muriel P.C. Grooteman,Fatih Kircelli,Francesco Locatelli,Francisco Maduell,Marion Morena,Menso J. Nubé,Ercan Ok,Ferran Torres,Mark Woodward,Mark Woodward,Peter J. Blankestijn +14 more
TL;DR: A pooled individual participant data analysis of RCTs indicates that online HDF reduces the risk of mortality in ESKD patients and is most pronounced for those receiving a higher convection volume normalized to BSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in haemodialysis patients by ultrafiltration and reduced salt intake without antihypertensive drugs.
TL;DR: It is suggested that good long-term BP control and a decrease of LVM can be achieved by continuous efforts to control hypervolaemia and the decrease in volume may be even more important than pressure reduction to achieve this goal.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The general objective assigned to the EUropean DIALlysis (EUDIAL) Working Group by the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association was to enhance the quality of dialysis therapies in Europe in the broadest possible sense.
