Electrolyte Changes in Contemporary Hemodialysis: A Secondary Analysis of the Monitoring in Dialysis (MiD) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a paucity of contemporary data examining electrolyte changes during and immediately after hemodialysis (HD), and their relationship with dialysate prescriptions. The present study examines these relationships.

Methods

We analyzed patient- (n=66) and HD session-level pre- and post-dialysis laboratory data (n=1,713) over a six-month period from the Monitoring in Dialysis Study. We fit mixed effects regression models to analyze electrolyte, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and albumin levels immediately post-HD, accounting for pre-HD and dialysate prescriptions. In a subset of US patients (n=40), 15-minute post-HD and 30-minute post-HD values were available at one session. Predictive models were fit to estimate electrolyte levels immediately post-HD, account
