Tandem hemodialysis and DFPP: Procedure, safety and cost-effectiveness in patients requiring chronic hemodialysis and lipid apheresis.

HD-DFPP tandem with a sequential blood line connecting system (derivation installed on the HD venous line) is effective and well-tolerated with a good cost-benefit ratio. Tandem reduces hospitalization and treatment session times and can be offered to patients requiring simultaneous HD and DFPP.
