Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study hypothesis is that with Evodial in patients requiring heparin free dialysis, the heparin free treatment can be performed easily (without saline flushes or blood predilution) and is at least not inferior and maybe superior to the standard care heparin free treatment in terms of clotting.
