Chronic renal failure Hemodialysis
Conditions
Interventions
The objective of this study is to evaluate the difference in dialysis efficiency between the standard single-needle dialysis method and a modified approach involving the use of a clamp for the return

All
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1)Patients requiring haemodialysis (2)Patients on single-needle dialysis for more than one consecutive week (3)If the Principal Investigator determines that there is no medical detriment to switching to a single needle. (4)Patients whose mode of treatment is dialysis (HD) or intermittent replacement haemodiafiltration (IHDF) (5) Patients who have obtained written consent for participation in this study from themselves or their surrogate. (6)Men and women who are 20 years of age or older at the time consent is obtained.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1)Patients who will need to undergo other haemodialysis therapies such as peritoneal dialysis during the study period, which may affect the assessment of the dialysis index. (2)Patients whose mode of treatment is hemodiafiltration dialysis (HDF) or hemofiltration (HF) or Extracorporeal ultrafiltration method (ECUM) (3)Patients who are unable to perform single needle dialysis consistently due to poor blood remov or poor blood return. (4)Patients deemed by the principal investigator to be inappropriate for this study
