Practical Considerations For Prescribing High-volume Hemodiafiltration (Hv-HDF)
Hemodiafiltration (HDF) Curriculum
Module 5: This module explores practical considerations for prescribing high-volume hemodiafiltration (Hv-HDF). It discusses patient selection, identifies modifiable factors that influence convection volume, examines the feasibility of high-volume HDF, and reviews additional prescription elements that do not affect convection volume.
The Use and Application of Hemodiafiltration (HDF)
This course provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts of Hemodiafiltration (HDF). It describes the technical requirements for HDF, discuss the potential prescription with HDF, and review the clinical outcomes with the use of HDF. #HDF

Practical Guide to Delivering High-volume Hemodiafiltration (HDF)
This course reviews the motivation for targeting high convection volumes during hemodiafiltration treatments (known as high-volume HDF) and discusses the factors that influence the convection volumes achieved. Lastly, potential steps and prescriptions for achieving high-volume HDF are introduced.
Life 2024 HDF Episode 1: The CONVINCE Trial
Episode 1: The Convince Trial The recently published CONVINCE Trial revealed a 23% decrease in mortality rates for patients treated with high-volume hemodiafiltration compared to those treated with more commonly used high-flux hemodialysis. Learn more…
Life 2024 HDF Episode 2: Optimizing HDF Outcomes
In the second episode, we explore the clinical benefits and the potential mechanisms of High-Volume Hemodiafiltration. In addition, as the experience with high-volume HDF increased over last decades, some real-world evidence data is presented. Event…
Life 2024 HDF Episode 3: How to implement HVHDF
In the third episode, we explore the steps of High-Volume Hemodiafiltration implementation. High-Volume Hemodiafiltration offers significant clinical benefits through optimized treatment protocols. Key factors include treatment time, blood flow, and dialyzer specifications. A structured approach…
Life 2024 HDF Episode 4: Patients-Reported Outcomes
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are pivotal in advancing renal replacement therapies and guiding patient-centered care. Recent findings from the CONVINCE trial demonstrate the superiority of high-volume hemodiafiltration, which improves life expectancy, slows the decline in physical…
Life 2024 HDF Episode 5: Is HV-HDF Cost-Effective?
Is High Volume HDF cost-effective? Cost-Effectiveness Analysis helps healthcare decision-makers evaluate whether a new treatment is worth funding by comparing the clinical benefits to the costs. The CONVINCE trial conducted a Cost-Utility Analysis to compare…
