High-Volume Hemodiafiltration and Cool Hemodialysis Have a Beneficial Effect on Intradialytic Hemodynamics: A Randomized Cross-Over Trial of Four Intermittent Dialysis Strategies.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Compared to standard hemodialysis (S-HD), postdilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) has been associated with improved survival.

Methods

To assess whether intradialytic hemodynamics may play a role in this respect, 40 chronic dialysis patients were cross-over randomized to S-HD (dialysate temperature [Td] 36.5 °C), cooled HD (C-HD; Td 35.5 °C), and HDF (low-volume [LV-HDF)] and high-volume [HV-HDF], both Td 36.5 °C, convection volume 15 liters, and at least 23 liters per session, respectively), each for 2 weeks. Blood pressure (BP) was measured every 15 minutes. The primary endpoint was the number of intradialytic hypotensive (IDH) episodes per session. IDH was defined as systolic BP (SBP) less than 90 mmHg for predialysis SBP less than 160 mmHg and less than 100 mmHg
