Fig. 2From: Suitability of α1-microglobulin reduction rate as a biomarker of removal efficiency of online hemodiafiltration: a retrospective cohort studyRelationship between reduction rate of β2-MG and α1-MG. Since there is no correlation between β2-MG and α1-MG reduction rates, the advantages of OL-HDF cannot be evaluated with β2-MG reduction rate alone. As efficient removal of larger LMWPs is an objective of OL-HDF, efficiency tests that use α1-MG as a biomarker are necessaryBack to article page
