Text: On-line HDF showed greater efficiency than low-flux HD in removing small solutes (eKt/Vurea 1. 60 0. 31 versus 1. 44 0. 26, P < 0. 0001) and in reducing basal levels of beta2-microglobulin (22. 2 7. 8 versus 33. 5 11. 8 mg/L, P < 0. 0001), total homocysteine (15. 4 5. 0 versus 18. 7 8. 2 mol/L, P = 0. 003), phosphate (4. 6 1. 3 versus 5. 0 1. 4 mg/dL, P = 0. 008) and, remarkably, of intact parathyroid hormone (202 154 versus 228 176 pg/mL, P = 0. 03).
