Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Chronic renal failure 2. Stable patients treated on Gambro Select® system (AK200S or AK200 Ultra S) 3 times/week for at least 4 weeks using SelectBag® One (Ca+1.5 mmol/l) 3. Patients treated in haemodialysis (HD) or Haemodiafiltration (HDF) mode with a blood flow rate between 250-400 ml/min during 4-5.5 hours 4. Patients treated with Gambro high flux filter; Polyflux 170H or Polyflux 210H 5. Signed consent to participate in the study (informed consent) 6. Patient aged 18 years or older, male or female 7.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C or B Virus (HCV or HBV) infection (positive serology) 2. Patients with ionized-calcium value < 1.1 mmol/l 3. Patients unable to tolerate Citrate as judged by Investigator 4. Patients using Citrate anticoagulation in usual HD treatment 5. Pregnant / planning pregnancy and lactating women during study period 6.
