    Abstract:
    Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring and arterial blood gases was performed during biofiltration (BF) treatment and during conventional acetate hemodialysis (HDA). Biofiltration is an ultrashort hemodiafiltration with 3 liters of substitution fluid (Na+ 145 mEq/l, HCO-3 100 mEq/l). Our data show a better correction of acid-base balance during BF than during HDA. Moreover, we observe a lower incidence of EEG disturbancies on BF, that suggests a better neurological tolerance of this treatment.
