Hemodialysis is an advanced blood purification technique to manage kidney failure. However, for conventional hemodialysis, the high prevalence of dyslipidemia may cause cardiovascular diseases and an increase in mortality. Moreover, toxins accumulating in the body over time may induce some complications. High flux hemodialysis can effectively improve disease indexes and clinical symptoms.
