Scientific titleSafety and efficacy study of high cut-off haemodialysis as a maintenance therapy for end stage renal failure: a randomised crossover trial
Study objectivesThe increased removal of middle molecules and protein bound toxins by high cut-off haemodialysis will reduce inflammation in chronic dialysis patients.
Ethics approval(s)Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Research Ethics Committee 2, ref: 10/H0402/31
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEnd stage renal failure, haemodialysis
InterventionHigh cut-off dialysis
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Safety as defined by the maintenance of serum albumin.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Kinetics of removal of uraemic toxins (middle molecules and protein bound toxins) and the corresponding sustained reductions seen with the different dialysis schedules evaluated.
2. Dialysis dose
3. Quality of life
4. Thrombosis
5. Pulse wave velocity
