Kidney Int 70: 963–968 Sustained low-efficiency daily dialysis (SLED) has been proposed as a treatment for acute renal failure (ARF) as an alternative to intermittent hemodialysis or continuous ...

Heparin-free hemodialysis with intermittent saline flushes (ISF) has been reported to be a safe and effective method for maintenance hemodialysis in patients with increased bleeding risk ...
