A quality and cost-benefit analysis of dialyzer reuse in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND To evaluate the benefits of dialyzer reuse for hemodialysis (HD) patients, including the cost of HD treatment and patient's survival, a comparison was made regarding the standard practice of single-use dialysis. METHODS From January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2005, a total of 128,232 successive HD treatments in 822 patients in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital-Kaohsiung Medical Center wer...
متن کاملDelayed Dialyzer Reprocessing for Home Hemodialysis.
Although dialyzer reuse for home hemodialysis (done by patients at home) has been in practice since the 1960s, it is now almost completely abandoned. The need for dialyzer reuse resurfaced with the renewed interest in daily/nightly forms of home hemodialysis and the associated increase in operating costs. We describe a method of dialyzer reuse based on reprocessing of dialyzers at the center, a...
متن کاملDialyzer reuse: justified cost saving for south Asian region.
In spite of controversies, dialyzer reuse has remained an integral part of hemodialysis because of lower cost, good overall safety record, and improved membrane biocompatibility. Reuse declined in developed countries from the beginning of this century because of mass production of hemodialyzers at favourable price with better biocompatible membrane. Abandoning dialyzer reuse became challenging ...
متن کاملDialyzer reuse with peracetic acid does not impact patient mortality.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Numerous studies have shown the overall benefits of dialysis filter reuse, including superior biocompatibility and decreased nonbiodegradable medical waste generation, without increased risk of mortality. A recent study reported that dialyzer reprocessing was associated with decreased patient survival; however, it did not control for sources of potential confounding. W...
متن کاملDialyzer Reuse and Outcomes of High Flux Dialysis
BACKGROUND The bulk of randomized trial evidence for the expanding use of High Flux (HF) hemodialysis worldwide comes from two randomized controlled trials, one of which (HEMODIALYSIS, HEMO) allowed, while the other (Membrane Outcomes Permeability, MPO) excluded, the reuse of membranes. It is not known whether dialyzer reuse has a differential impact on outcomes with HF vs low flyx (LF) dialyze...
