The beneficial protective effects of HDF against OS are due to several factors: the ultrapure dialysate, the biocompatible membranes, the hemodynamic stability and the better anemia control of the patients, and the improved clearance of middle and large molecular weight uremic molecules such as inflammatory cytokines, homocysteine and polyamines, and β2-microglobulin [103–106]. Here, HLA-G is linked to anemia (phenotype).
