Inflammatory Response to Sorbent Hemodialysis

چکیده
Inflammation is common and associated with morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Exposure to endotoxin contained in the dialysate may trigger inflammation. Dialysate volume is substantially reduced in sorbent HD compared with standard single-pass dialysis. In this prospective study (Clinicaltrials.gov, number: NCT00788905), we compared the inflammatory response to single-pass and sorbent HD. Patients receiving single-pass HD were studied during 1 week of sorbent HD (Allient system; Renal Solutions, Warrendale, PA) and 1 week of single-pass HD. Patients were dialyzed using high-flux polysulfone dialyzers. Midweek pre- and post-HD serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and eotaxin were determined and their intradialytic change corrected for hemoconcentration during single-pass HD and sorbent HD compared by paired t-test. We enrolled 18 patients, nine completed the study. Although TNF-α decreased during both single-pass and sorbent HD (p < 0.001), none of the other biomarkers changed significantly during HD. We observed no difference between single-pass and sorbent HD. For the markers investigated in this study, there was no difference in the acute intradialytic inflammatory response to single-pass or sorbent HD.

Background: The prognosis of chronic dialysis patients is poor, in part due to the high incidence of cardiovascular disease and malnutrition. It has been recognized that 30-50% of hemodialysis patients have serological evidence of an activated inflammatory response. Chronic inflammation may cause malnutrition and progressive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It would be obvious interest t...
متن کاملIncreasing the clearance of protein-bound solutes by addition of a sorbent to the dialysate.
The capacity of sorbent systems to increase solute clearances above the levels that are provided by hemodialysis has not been well defined. This study assessed the extent to which solute clearances can be increased by addition of a sorbent to the dialysate. Attention was focused on the clearance of protein-bound solutes, which are cleared poorly by conventional hemodialysis. A reservoir that co...
متن کاملA Proposed Peritoneal-Based Wearable Artificial Kidney.
Ideally, an artificial kidney should simulate the normal kidney in providing continuous metabolic control, removal of toxins, and unrestricted patient freedom. Of the dialysis procedures available, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) comes the closest to this ideal but provides inadequate dialysis and fails to remove protein-bound toxins. A continuous, wearable, peritoneal-based ar...
متن کاملPrediction of hemodialysis sorbent cartridge urea nitrogen capacity and sodium release from in vitro tests.
In sorbent-based hemodialysis, factors limiting a treatment session are urea conversion capacity and sodium release from the cartridge. In vitro experiments were performed to model typical treatment scenarios using various dialyzers and 4 types of SORB sorbent cartridges. The experiments were continued to the point of column saturation with ammonium. The urea nitrogen removed and amount of sodi...
متن کاملSorbent augmented hemodialysis systems: are we there yet?
Recent publications have reintroduced the concept of using sorbent systems to augment the efficiency of the dialysis process, either by making stationary or compact wearable devices to regenerate dialysis fluid or to target larger molecules for removal by direct blood or plasma contact with sorbent particles. Many of the inherent problems associated with older sorbents have been overcome by des...
