How low can we go with the dialysate flow? A retrospective study on the safety and adequacy of a water-saving dialysis prescription
Reduction in dialysate flow rate to 300 mL/min seems safe and does not cause any short-term negative effects in this small study. Thus, we might be able to achieve a similar therapeutic effect while saving water consumption. Larger, long-term studies incorporating patient-reported outcome measures are needed to confirm the efficacy of this approach.
