Why the study?
Does a single episode of haemodialysis improve endothelial function compared to automated peritoneal dialysis in subjects with end-stage renal failure?
Population
30 subjects with end-stage renal failure undergoing haemodialysis or automated peritoneal dialysis.
Comparison
Single episode of haemodialysis vs Single episode of automated peritoneal dialysis

Single haemodialysis session was associated with acute endothelial improvement; hypothesis-generating for modality effects and requires randomized confirmation.
Does a single episode of haemodialysis improve endothelial function compared to automated peritoneal dialysis in subjects with end-stage renal failure?
A single session of hemodialysis, but not peritoneal dialysis, acutely improves endothelial function in patients with end-stage renal disease, likely by clearing dialyzable endothelial toxins.
