Online high-efficiency haemodiafiltration achieves higher serum free light chain removal than high-flux haemodialysis in multiplen myeloma patients: preliminary quantitative study

摘要

Background. Fast reduction of serum free light chain (FLC) levels correlate with renal recovery in cast nephropathy. Because convection has the capacity to remove proteins of higher molecular weights, we hypothesized that haemodiafiltration (HDF) would be superior to haemodialysis (HD) for FLC clearance.
