According to recent results from observational studies, maintenance hemodialysis sessions will probably tend in the future towards more dialysis time, slower ultrafiltration rate and use of hemodiafiltration. Modes of renal replacement therapy in acute renal failure are still to be determined. Plasma exchange, rituximab, mycophenolate mofetil and ciclosporine are now widely used in the treatment of glomerulonephritides and represent an interesting alternative with less side-effects than cyclophosphamide.
