Influence of frequent nocturnal home hemodialysis on food preference.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Dialysis patients frequently report a change of taste that is reversible after renal transplantation, suggesting that uremic toxins may negatively influence taste. Currently, frequent nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD) is the most effective method of hemodialysis, and is associated with the lowest levels of uremic toxins. We studied preferences for various foods as an indicator of taste perception. We questioned whether food preference differs between NHHD patients and those on conventional hemodialysis. DESIGN AND PATIENTS In this transverse, cross-sectional pilot study, we assessed food preference by means of a questionnaire for patients on NHHD (n=6; 8 hours of dialysis per night, for 5 or 6 nights a week) and 3 age-matched and sex-matched control groups: chronic home hemodialysis patients (HHD; n=9; 4 to 5 hours of dialysis per day, 3 days a week), chronic in-center hemodialysis patients (CHD; n=18; 4 to 5 hours of dialysis per day, 3 days a week), and healthy control subjects (HC; n=23). RESULTS Mean scores for food preference did not differ between groups (P=.32). Similarly, the preference for product groups did not differ between groups. On an individual product level, we found only minor differences. The NHHD patients had a preference for savory snacks, as did the HC and CHD groups, whereas the HHD group had a preference for sweet snacks (P < .05). Hemodialysis patients reported dry mouth more often than did the HC patients (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Frequent NHHD has no major impact on food preference. The change in taste reported by NHHD patients is not related to their particular food preferences.

Estimating preference scores in conventional and home nocturnal hemodialysis patients.
Previous studies have reported higher quality of life in patients who receive home nocturnal hemodialysis (HNHD) than conventional in-center hemodialysis (IHD). The optimal method for eliciting preferences from dialysis patients remains undefined, and there may be unique methodologic concerns in this population. Patients' preferences for IHD (n = 20) and HNHD (n = 24) were studied using the sta...

We investigated the effects of frequency of hemodialysis on nutritional status by analyzing the data in the Frequent Hemodialysis Network Trial. We compared changes in albumin, body weight, and composition among 245 patients randomized to six or three times per week in-center hemodialysis (Daily Trial) and 87 patients randomized to six times per week nocturnal or three times per week convention...

Long-term nocturnal hemodialysis, which uses longer and more frequent sessions than conventional hemodialysis, lowers clinic blood pressure and left ventricular mass. We tested the hypotheses that short-term nocturnal hemodialysis would (1) reduce ambulatory blood pressure; (2) cause peripheral vasodilation; (3) lower plasma norepinephrine concentration; and (4) improve the arterial response to...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nocturnal home hemodialysis provides excellent biochemical and metabolic control of uremia; however, extensive training is necessary and technical barriers exist for intensive home hemodialysis compared with the relative simplicity of peritoneal dialysis. It was hypothesized that nocturnal home hemodialysis is associated with improved quality of life but higher illness...
