Impact of Improving Quality of Dialysis Fluid on Oxidative Stress and Lipid Profile in Hemodialysis Patients
The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of malondialdehyde as an oxidative stress marker in the same hemodialysis patients after changing the quality of dialysate with ultrapure dialysis fluid. Methods. This prospective study concerns hemodialysis patients; all patients were in the first step treated with conventional dialysate, and in the second step (three months later) the same pati...
متن کاملThe early years of on-line HDF: how did it all start? How did we get here?
In the mid-1980s, limits and side effects of contemporary hemodialysis were basically due to short treatment time, use of low-flux membranes and employment of acetate-buffered dialysate. These were already associated with a relatively high morbidity and cardiovascular mortality as part of diaysis-related pathology. Based on these considerations, the concept of on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF) wa...
متن کاملUltrapure dialysis fluid--how pure is it and do we need it?
Originally a definition of water quality for the semiconductor industry, the term ‘ultrapure’ has been adopted by the dialysis community. The discussion has developed from basic definitions and methods for quantification to clinical benefits and recommendations for implementation. Today, ultrapure dialysis fluid is subject to the demands of evidence-based medicine or at least evidence-based cos...
متن کاملThe impact of membrane permeability and dialysate purity on cardiovascular outcomes.
The effects of high-flux dialysis and ultrapure dialysate on survival of hemodialysis patients are incompletely understood. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of both membrane permeability and dialysate purity on cardiovascular outcomes. We randomly assigned 704 patients on three times per week hemodialysis to either high- or low-flux dialyzers and either ultr...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Serum Levels of Aluminum and Lead in Dialysis Patients, Pre and post Dialysis
Background: Accumulation or deficiency of trace elements can occur in hemodialysis patients and it increases risk of cardiovascular or other organs disorders. Special ions levels such as sodium and bicarbonate in dialysis fluid are accurately regulated but the remaining elements are not regularly measured. Aluminum and lead belong to the biologic performance free heavy metals .They also has a t...
