Online measurement of urea concentration in spent dialysate during hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND We describe online optical measurements of urea in the effluent dialysate line during regular hemodialysis treatment of several patients. Monitoring urea removal can provide valuable information about dialysis efficiency. METHODS Spectral measurements were performed with a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer equipped with a flow-through cell. Spectra were recorded across the 50...
متن کاملBlood Urea Nitrogen Stability: A Feasibility Study for Home Hemodialysis Adequacy Testing Through Mail.
Urea kinetic modeling measures the delivered dose of hemodialysis and is used to monitor dialysis adequacy. Obtaining samples for adequacy calculations is a challenge for home hemodialysis (HHD) patients. Ideally, the urea reduction ratio (URR) should be measured at a typical dialysis session; therefore, for HHD patients test specimens should be drawn at home and transferred to a clinical labor...
متن کاملNew Concepts in Synaptic Biology Derived from Single-Molecule Imaging
Single-molecule approaches give access to the full distribution of molecule behaviors and overcome the averaging intrinsic to bulk measurement methods. They allow access to complex processes where a given molecule can have heterogeneous properties over time. Recent developments in single-molecule imaging technologies have been followed by their wide application in cellular biology and are leadi...
متن کاملDialysis adequacy of chronic hemodialysis patients in Zanjan-Iran, 2016
Background: Dialysis adequacy is one of the most important factors in determining the survival rate and mortality of dialysis patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the dialysis adequacy of patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis at dialysis centers located in the province of Zanjan, located in northwest Iran. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performe...
متن کاملOnline conductivity monitoring of dialysis adequacy versus Kt/V derived from urea reduction ratio: A prospective study from a Saudi center
INTRODUCTION Ad equate delivered dose of solute removal (as assessed by urea reduction and calculation of Kt/V) is an important determinant of clinical outcome in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients. This requires both prescription of an adequate dose of HD and regular assessment that the delivered treatments are also adequate. Online conductivity monitoring using sodium flux as a surrogate for ...
