An important advantage of convective therapies is improved vascular reactivity. However, it is not well known whether the vascular response during convective therapies remains superior when compared to haemodialysis (HD) with an adjusted temperature of the dialysate. It has also been suggested that convective therapies may impair small electrolyte removal through an effect on the Donnan equilibrium. In the present study, we compared the haemodynamic response and small electrolyte removal between pre-dilution on-line haemofiltration (HF) and HD procedures.
