The Immune System in End Stage CKD Patients - Comparison Among Different Modalities of RRT

The evaluation and assessment of the influence of the different modalities of renal replacement therapy (RRT), including peritoneal dialysis (PD), conventional hemodialysis with high flux dialyzers, hemodiafiltration (HDF) and expanded hemodialysis (HDx) with Medium Cut Off (MCO) dialyzers on the levels of the cell subsets of the innate and acquired immune system as well as the investigation of the possible role of these cells as prognostic indices of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) undergoing different modalities of RRT.
