Soon after, online HDF emerged as an appealing (5) and viable modality (6) to address main concerns (i.e., disease burden, cardiovascular burden, poor quality of life) associated with current kidney replacement modalities including high-flux hemodialysis (7, 8).<\/p>\n<p>HDF has gained, over the last decade, higher clinical acceptance worldwide. As indicated in a recent survey report, HDF has been used to treat 286,000 patients worldwide, of which 278,000 were treated by online HDF (97%) (9). This represents the vast majority of convective therapies (Figure 1) (9). Online HDF acceptance is growing faster in the two leading regions (Europe and the Asia Pacific Region including Japan) after having approved the method, with patient average growth rates of 12 to 24% -far above the total patient HD growth rate of 6.6% (9).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7677\" src=\"https:\/\/ami.advancedrenaleducation.com\/wparep\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/HDFI1-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"651\" height=\"434\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Figure 1. <\/strong>Number of HDF patients worldwide (9) (p.401).<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing HDF as an advanced and promising kidney replacement modality for end stage kidney disease patients, it is worthwhile to review clinical evidence regarding potential benefits of HDF, as well as identify gaps and complementary research questions that are needed (10, 11).<\/p>\n<div class=\"vcex-spacing\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div><div class=\"vcex-module vcex-divider vcex-divider-solid\" style=\"width:100%;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;border-top-width:1px;border-color:#dddddd;\"><\/div>\n<h4>References:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Baldamus CA, Ernst W, Lysaght MJ, Shaldon S, Koch KM.
