Study information

Study designOpen, prospective, centrally randomised, international, multi-centre study.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymMPO
Study objectivesTo test whether the survival of ESRD patients treated with bicarbonate hemodialysis using high-flux membranes is better than that of those treated with bicarbonate hemodialysis using low-flux membranes.

This trial is also registered with the Cochrane Renal Group Registry (registration number: CRG 090500013).
Ethics approval(s)Local and national ethics approvals were obtained for all study sites according to the national legislations.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic kidney disease stage 5
InterventionChronic hemodialysis with high-flux membranes vs low-flux membranes.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAll-cause mortality, determined upon occurence throughout the complete study period.
Secondary outcome measures1. Mortality due to infections
2. Mortality due to cardiovascular causes
3. Morbidity due to all causes
4. Morbidity due to infections
5. Morbidity due to problems related to vascular access
6. Pre-dialysis beta2-microglobulin levels
7. Pre-dialysis plasma levels of Advanced Glycosylation End-products (AGE)
8. Hematocrit levels and related rHu-EPO dose
9. Triglycerides and the High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) / Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ratio
10. Pre-dialysis bicarbonate
11. Nutritional parameters
12. Protein Catabolic Rate (PCR)
13. Residual renal function

1 to 5 above were determined upon occurence throughout the complete study period, and the other parameters in 6-monthly intervals.
Overall study start date15/12/1998
Completion date15/07/2006
