Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to detect if lower dialysate flow rate can affect hemodialysis adequacy , dialysis recovery time and patients quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: does low dialysate flow affect hemodialysis adequacy? does green dialysis achievable without affecting hemodialysis adequacy? Researchers will compare hemodialysis session of high dialysate flow to that with low dialysate flow. Participants will: underwent hemodialysis for a week with low dialysate flow and another week with high dialysate flow.

Conditions

• End Stage Kidney Disease (ESRD)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	lower dialysate flow rate ( 300ml/min). then testing its effect on hemodialysis adequacy	The aim of this study is to check whether change of dialysate flow from 500ml/min to 300ml/min has a significant impact on dialysis adequacy , dialysis recovery time and patient reported outcome measures in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
