Study information
| Study design | Prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel group design | 
|---|---|
| Primary study design | Interventional | 
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial | 
| Study setting(s) | Not specified | 
| Study type | Treatment | 
| Scientific title | |
| Study acronym | PROFIL | 
| Study objectives | As compared with hemodialysis (HD), on-line, predilution hemofiltration (HF) reduces the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), decreases overall morbidity, and retards the loss of residual renal function in incident dialysis patients | 
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved by the Karolinska Institute Ethics Review Board 29/12/1999, reference number: 99-292 | 
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | End stage renal disease patients starting dialysis treatment | 
| Intervention | Two different modes of dialysis, conventional hemodialysis (HD) versus hemofiltration (HF) | 
| Intervention type | Other | 
| Primary outcome measure | The objective of this study is to compare the effect of treatment with pre-dilution HF and HD, respectively, on left ventricular mass index (LVMI) during 1 to a maximum of 3 years follow up | 
| Secondary outcome measures | To compare the effect of HF and HD with respect to: 1. Mortality (all causes) 2. Hospitalisation (number of occasions, total number of days in hospital) 3. Blood pressure (antihypertensive drug index) 4. Dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) needed to keep hemoglobin at target level 5. Infections (antibiotic drug index) 6. Serum lipids 7. Patients subjective evaluation of intra- and inter-dialytic symptoms 8. Residual renal function 9. Cost effectiveness  |
