Ensuring hemodialysis adequacy by dialysis dose monitoring with UV spectroscopy analysis of spent dialyzate.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients' session-to-session variation has been shown to influence outcomes, making critical the monitoring of dialysis dose in each session. The aim of this study was to detect the intra-patient variability of blood single pool Kt/V as measured from pre-post dialysis blood urea and from the online tool Adimea^®, which measures the ultraviolet absorbance of spent dialyzate.

Methods

This open, one-armed, prospective non-interventional study, evaluates patients on bicarbonate hemodialysis or/and on hemodiafiltration. Dialysis was performed with B. Braun Dialog+ machines equipped with Adimea^®. In the course of the prospective observation, online monitoring with Adimea^® in each session was established without the target warning functi
