We conducted a prospective study to assess the impact of the blood pump flow rate (BFR) on the dialysis dose with a low dialysate flow rate. Seventeen patients were observed for 3 short hemodialysis sessions in which only the BFR was altered (300,350 and 450 mL/min). Kt/V urea increased from 0.54 ± 0.10 to 0.58 ± 0.08 and 0.61 ± 0.09 for BFR of 300, 400 and 450 mL/min. For the same BFR variations, the reduction ratio (RR) of β2microglobulin increased from 0.40 ± 0.07 to 0.45 ± 0.06 and 0.48 ± 0.06 and the RR phosphorus increased from 0.46 ± 0.1 to 0.48 ± 0.08 and 0.49 ± 0.07. In bivariate analysis accounting for repeated observations, an increasing BFR resulted in an increase in spKt/V (0.048 per 100 mL/min increment in BPR [p < 0.05, 95% CI (0.03–0.06)]) and an increase in the RR β2m (5% per 100 mL/min increment in BPR [p < 0.05, 95% CI (0.03–0.07)]). An increasing BFR with low dialysate improves the removal of urea and β2m but with a potentially limited clinical impact.

Abstract Background: The objective of this work was to assess the impact of the decrease in dialysate flow rate on the dialysis dose delivered (spKt /V) to chronic hemodialysis patients and to estimate the resulting water saving. Methods: It was a prospective 4-week-period study that included chronic hemodialysis patients with clinical and hemodynamic stability. The patients successively underwent hemodialysis with a dialysate flow rate of 500 ml / min, at 1, 1.2 and 1.5 times the blood flow rate. Each dialysate flow rate was applied for one week. During these 4 weeks, the following parameters were kept constant: duration of dialysis, blood flow rate, anticoagulation, membrane nature and surface. Results: Forty-five chronic hemodialysis patients were included with a mean age of 48.4 ± 12.07 years. The weekly average spKt/V was statistically higher with a dialysate flow rate at 1.5 times the blood flow rate compared to the dialysate flow at 500 mL / min (p = 0.001). The proportion of patients achieving a standardized dialysis dose ≥ 1.4 was statistically higher with dialysate flow at 500 mL / min (64.4%) compared to dialysate flow at 1 or 1.2 times the blood flow rate which were 57.8% and 55.6%, respectively. It was statistically higher with a dialysate flow at 1.5 times the blood flow (93.3%) compared to the dialysate flow at 500 mL / min (p = 0.036). The dialysate volume used with a dialysate flow rate of 500 mL / min was higher compared to the other dialysate flow rates (p = 0.0001). Conclusions: An adequate dialysis dose could be achieved with a dialysate flow rate of 1.5 times the blood flow rate, thereby saving significant amount of water.

Abstract Background and Aims Short-daily hemodialysis (HD) with low-dialysate volume is an appealing portable dialysis approach for home use. Although this type of HD has proved being effective for the volume control and the clearance of low molecular-weight uremic toxins, limited data are available on the impact on the removal rates of other uremic toxins like β2-microglobulin (β2M) or phosphate (P), whose clearance is limited by sequestration into compartments, poor diffusion, high time-dependency, or protein binding. We evaluated the impact of short-daily HD with slow dialysate flow rate on the removal of solutes of different molecular weights and distribution volumes. Method Single-session and weekly balances of β2M, P, urea, and creatinine were prospectively assessed with total dialysate collection and serum measurements before and after 341 dialysis sessions (mean dialysate volume: 30963 ± 862 mL; mean length of dialysis session: 153 ± 8 min) in 31 stable patients (female; 9, 29 %; mean age: 55.6 ± 13.6 y; dry weight: 74.9 ± 13.3 kg) undergoing short-daily home HD with NxStage cycler, between July 2014 and October 2019. The mean blood flow rate was 365 ± 17 mL/min, whereas the mean dialysate flow rate was 194 ± 12 mL/min. Results Single-session β2M, P, urea, and creatinine removals were 0.138 ± 0.050 g, 0.610 ± 0.161 g, 18.89 ± 6.07 g and 1.07 ± 0.31 g, respectively, whereas the reduction rates (%) were 38.0 ± 13.0, 46.8 ± 8.6, 48.2 ± 7.0 and 46.6 ± 6.6, for β2M, P, urea and creatinine, respectively. The estimated weekly β2M, P, urea and creatinine removals in HDD patients dialyzing 5-6 days per week were comparable with 4-h in-center thrice-weekly on-line hemodiafiltration according to previous studies (Table 1). Conclusion Treating patients with short-daily HD with low-dialysate volume at a 5-6 days per week prescription may achieve an efficient weekly β2M and P removal.

Objective To determine the impact of dialysate flow rate (DFR) on cefazolin pharmacokinetics (PK) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods A meta-analysis of published reports, identified by MEDLINE search (1966-2002) and other sources, containing information on cefazolin PK data in PD patients was conducted. Data were analyzed based upon low DFR (≤ 5.50 mL/minute) or high DFR (> 5.50 mL/minute). Data available were from North American (NA) ( n = 45) and Singaporean ( n = 10) patients. Complete data sets were available for 33 patients (CDS patients). Data were analyzed with respect to data origin and data set completeness: all patients (ALL), NA, and CDS. Analysis of log-transformed cefazolin PK data was performed to determine coefficient of determination ( r2) between DFR and cefazolin elimination rate constant (kel), clearance total (ClT), and clearance peritoneal (ClPD). Clearance total data were extrapolated to DFR observed in continuous flow PD. Results Published literature provided data on 55 PD patients (12 high DFR, 43 low DFR). Regardless of data origin (ALL, NA, or CDS), a prominent coefficient of determination ( p < 0.0001) existed between DFR and all cefazolin PK data except ClPD. The p value for DFR correlation to ClPD was 0.953, 0.011, and 0.036 for ALL, NA, and CDS patients, respectively. Cefazolin ClT and ClPD increased at higher DFRs. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that an increased DFR leads to an increased rate of cefazolin clearance in NA PD patients. The impact of Asian descent on cefazolin ClPD warrants further investigation. Clinicians dosing cefazolin in PD patients using a higher DFR than that used to determine cefazolin PK should use increased doses or prescribe lower/comparable DFRs. Data are not yet available for patients prescribed very high DFRs ( e.g., continuous flow PD); extrapolation of our results demonstrates significant influences on clearance and risk for underdosing.

The management of acute myoglobinuric renal failure, the major complication of rhab-domyolysis, continues to be a treatment dilemma for the clinician as limited therapeutic options are available. Previously, we have demonstrated that continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) is an effective technique for removing myoglobin in an animal model. In the present study, swine were administered four grams of equine myoglobin intravenously and underwent the continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) procedure for six hours each. Animals were studied in each of the following groups: CVVH at a pump rate 100 ml/minute, CVVH at a pump rate 200 ml/minute and CVVH at a pump rate 100 ml/minute plus dialysis at a dialysate flow rate of one Liter/h. Once the filtering process was initiated there was a rapid and sustained production of ultrafiltrate in all groups. The amount of myoglobin excreted in the ultrafiltrate over the six-hour filtering period was 688, 948 and 570 mg which corresponded to 17, 24 and 14 percent of the administered dose, respectively, for the three treatments. In comparison to previous CAVH experiments, CVVH removed more circulating myoglobin and the addition of the dialysis component did not appear to improve removal. Based on these findings, it appears that the CVVH hemofiltration system is a viable option for the removal of systemic myoglobin.
