To reduce the cost of hemodiafiltration (HDF), a standard hemodialysis machine was modified to permit in‐line production of substitution fluid from bicarbonate dialysate. The authors' present data showing that this procedure was made bacteriologically safe; was simple to use, and offered a cheap approach to perform high‐flux HDF using a hemodifilter of relatively small membrane surface area.
