Abstract
Background: Anaemia is a major complication in chronic kidney disease. Ideally anaemia should be lower in patients receiving High flux dialysis due to removal of middle to large molecular weight erythropoiesis inhibitors and few studies also support this. There has been no such study which compares the prevalence of anaemia in Low and High flux modalities with use of same High biocompatible membrane and same Ultrapure dialysis water for both. Both biocompatibility and Ultrapure water is known to have less systemic inflammation, hence better control of anaemia. This study aims to do so.
