About

The goal of this clinical trial is to detect if lower dialysate flow rate can affect hemodialysis adequacy , dialysis recovery time and patients quality of life.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

does low dialysate flow affect hemodialysis adequacy? does green dialysis achievable without affecting hemodialysis adequacy? Researchers will compare hemodialysis session of high dialysate flow to that with low dialysate flow.

Participants will:

underwent hemodialysis for a week with low dialysate flow and another week with high dialysate flow.
