Adequacy of solute clearance makes a profound impact on clinical outcome in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Thus far, guidelines on the target of solute clearance (Kt/V or URR) are based on patients with three dialysis sessions per week. However, quite a few patients have their dialysis sessions twice per week in China. The dialysis target of solute clearance in this population remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to explore the optimum target solute clearance (Kt/V or URR) in maintenance hemodialysis patients with two dialysis sessions per week. Two groups of hemodialysis patients with different Kt/V (1.2 ≤ Kt/V ＜ 1.7 versus Kt/V ≥ 1.7) will be followed until 96 weeks in this prospective, randomized, multi-center, interventional study.
