Study design details

• Main study objective:
  The aim of this study was to determine the influence of acetate vs. citrate buffered dialysis fluids in hemodialysis (HD) and post-dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) settings on the elimination of indoxyl sulfate.
• Outcomes:
  Elimination of indoxyl sulfate estimated from its serum concentrations.
• Data analysis plan:
  All statistical analyses will be performed using the SigmaStat software version 3.1. (Systat Software Inc. US).
