Randomized trial of FX high flux vs standard high flux dialysis for homocysteine clearance
Background. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in the end-stage renal disease population. Novel risk factors such as homocysteine (Hcy) are of considerable interest in this group as hyperhomocysteinaemia is highly prevalent in the setting of renal impairment. Folic acid-vitamin B group therapies are only partially effective treatments. Hcy is highly protein-bound and thus poorly dialysed. Dialyzers with albumin-leaking properties have been shown to result in lowering of plasma Hcy. As the FX-class (Advanced Fresenius Polysulfone dialyzer) has greater clearance of larger molecular weight substances but is non-albumin-leaking, we explored the capacity of this new technology membrane to reduce plasma Hcy levels
