Methods This prospective randomised case-crossover study recruited twenty adult patients who were randomised into two groups: Group A: to start with 1 week of thrice-weekly dialysis using HFD membrane followed by a 3-weeks washout period and then 1 week of dialysis with an MCO membrane. Group B followed the reverse sequence.
