Is There Enough Evidence to Prove That Hemodiafiltration Is Superior?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a promising technique to evaluate dry weight. We compared the dry weight calculated by the three BIA equations Carlo Basile (CB) , Yanna Dou (YD) and the body composition spectroscopy (BCS) with clinical evaluation in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. METHODS...
