Sir, Cardiovascular instability is a common problem with the current trend to shorter dialysis. Thus patients with cardiovascular instability may not cope well with the rapid fluid shifts in particular associated with short duration haemodialysis and may manifest symptomatic hypotension [1]. Haemodiafiltration is one method commonly considered as offering greater cardiovascular stability despite the large fluid shifts involved and the potential for short dialysis times [2, 3]-We therefore examined whether it was possible to treat a group of patients with cardiovascular pathology, who traditionally would have been managed in our unit with CAPD, with short-duration haemodialysis, and in particular haemodiafiltration. We assessed their blood pressure responses to the treatment in association with their ability to reach and maintain their prescribed dry weight. Patients. Eight patients, mean age 62 years (range 40-76), were selected on the basis of known cardiovascular disease, including documented coronary artery disease (1), aortic valve prosthesis (1), rhythm disturbances (2), and diffuse vascular calcification (6). The mean duration since commencing dialysis was II±I years (range 4-19). The mean cardiothoracic index on X-ray was 0.49±0.02. Phases under study.(1) Haemodialysis was performed using polysulphone capillary membranes (Fresenius HF60 or HF80, Fresenius AG, Bad Homburg, Germany) for 9 h per week. Sterile bicarbonate dialysate (Na 140±2, K. 2.0, Ca 1.75 mM) was used at 600ml/min. Blood flow was individualized between 300 and 400 ml/min.(2) The haemodiafiltration mode utilized the same dialysis duration, membranes, dialysate, and dialysate flow as for haemodialysis, but in addition there was a convective loss with reinfusion of 18-20 litres of infusate per session; this was produced by on-line ultrafiltration of dialysate [4]. All patients were dialysed via forearm fistulae. Variables analysed. Before and after each session pulse, supine blood pressure, mean blood pressure (via a Dinamap 8103©, Creteil, France), and weight were assessed. Each hour during the sessions loss of weight (UF rate), pulse, blood pressure, and incidents (episodes of hypotension or cramps) were recorded.Protocol and statistics. Patients were initially on maintenance haemodialysis and later changed to maintenance haemodiafiltration. The second phase of the study occurred after at least 2 months of'settling in'. For each phase, three mid-week sessions and three sessions after a 3-day break were analysed. The means of the three sessions were utilized in the final analysis. The differences between the two techniques was assessed using Student's t test for paired
