Acetate Free Biofiltration with Potassium Profiled Dialysate (AFB-K)

چکیده
Hyperkalaemia is a common, significant electrolyte disorder in uremia. Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing haemodialysis (HD) accumulate potassium during the interdialysis period, and clearance of this potassium is one of the functions of haemodialysis. A sudden decrease in blood potassium levels during haemodialysis can induce or worsen arrhythmias, (Cupisti et al., 1999) particularly in patients already suffering arrhythmia or with risk factors for developing arrhythmia, such as heart disease of any origin, old age and diabetes mellitus, disorders which are highly prevalent in our dialysis units. Acetate Free Biofiltration with Potassium Profiled Dialysate (AFB-K) is a new haemodialysis technique that uses a potassium profiled dialysate (high at the start and low at the end of dialysis), so that by maintaining a constant potassium gradient between dialysate and blood, the decrease in blood potassium is slower – thereby contributing to prevent the appearance of arrhythmia (Santoro et al., 2002).

Acetate-free biofiltration reduces intradialytic hypotension: a European multicenter randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IH) is a common complication of bicarbonate hemodialysis (BD) and contributes to the intolerance of dialysis and the high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among dialysis patients, the risk of which can be contained by convective therapies. AIMS/METHODS To assess whether acetate-free biofiltration (AFB), a hemodiafiltration technique found to improve...
متن کاملThe efficiency of potassium removal during bicarbonate hemodialysis.
Patients on chronic hemodialysis often portray high serum [K+]. Although dietary excesses are evident in many cases, in others, the cause of hyperkalemia cannot be identified. In such cases, hyperkalemia could result from decreased potassium removal during dialysis. This situation could occur if alkalinization of body fluids during dialysis would drive potassium into the cell, thus decreasing t...

Although as yet no major breakthroughs have occurred to improve long-term survival of haemodialysis patients with impaired cardiovascular function, it is possible to reduce morbidity by intra-dialytic hypotension in these patients by the use of relatively simple manoeuvres. In our experience, this can be achieved using the following approach (Table 1). First, the decline in plasma volume can be...

We conducted a prospective, randomized study to compare conventional continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) with sustained hemodiafiltration (SHDF) using an acetate-free dialysate. Fifty critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who required renal replacement therapy were treated with either CVVHDF or SHDF. CVVDHF was performed using a conventional dialysate with an efflu...
