EuDial Working Group

The EuDial Working Group is aimed at encouraging research, communicating knowledge, teaching and contributing to education in the field of haemodialysis. The acronym EuDial, standing for European Dialysis Working Group, has been chosen to best summarize its activity and mission: to improve outcomes of chronic kidney disease patients by enhancing the quality of dialysis therapies in their broader sense and facilitating collaborative research in this field.

Given the increasing scientific interest in convective therapies (hemodiafiltration and hemofiltration), the working group has decided to focus on convective renal replacement therapies as the first aim. The rationale of this first mission is supported by several facts that include increasing interest in convective therapies translating into the rapid growth of patients treated by modern versions of these therapies and several reports suggesting an improvement in CKD patient outcomes.
