BACKGROUND: The "HDF-Heart-Height" study showed that haemodiafiltration (HDF) is associated with improved growth compared to conventional haemodialysis (HD).

Height (Ht), optimal 'dry' weight (Wt), and body mass index (BMI) standard deviations scores (SDS), waist-to-hip ratio, des-acyl ghrelin (DAG), adiponectin, leptin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)-SDS and insulin were measured...
