Text: While urea and creatinine clearances were significantly lower (6. 4 % and 3. 9 %, respectively), middle molecule removal was much more efficient in mid-dilution HDF over the whole range of investigated proteins : compared to post-dilution HDF, beta (2) - microglobulin (11. 8 kD) clearance (165. 8 + / - 26. 59 vs. 201. 9 + / - 20. 63 mL/min ; P < 0. 001), RR (80. 0 + / - 5. 4 % vs. 82. 2 + / - 5. 7 % ; P < 0. 001), and dialysate mass transfer (53 % higher ; P < 0. 001) were significantly higher.
