Systemic haemodynamics in haemodialysis: intradialytic changes and prognostic significance.

ABSTRACT: Background:Although haemodialysis (HD) leads to alterations of systemic haemodynamics that can be monitored using dilution methods, there is a lack of data on the diagnostic and prognostic significance of haemodynamic monitoring during routine HD. Methods:In this multicentre study, we measured cardiac index (CI), access flow (AF) and central blood volume index (CBVI) during a single HD session in stable HD patients (n = 215) using the Transonic HD03 monitor (Transonic, Ithaca, NY, USA). Systemic CI (SCI) was defined as CI corrected for AF. In a subset of patients (n = 82), total end-diastolic volume index (TEDVI) and total ejection fraction (TEF) were derived from dilution curves. Data were correlated with clinical parameters, cardiac biomarkers and bioimpedance measurements (body composit
