Treatment Study Group of Chronic Renal Disease of Italian Society of Nephrology, Cagliari, Italy. Electronic address:
Objective: The objective of the study was to quantify the loss and arterial blood concentration of the three main classes of amino acids (AAs)-nonessential amino acids (NEAAs), essential amino acids (EAAs), and branched-chain amino acids-as resulting from high-efficiency hemodialysis (HED) and hemodiafiltration (HDF). We moreover aimed to identify the different fates and metabolic effects manifested in patients undergoing hemodialysis and the consequences on body composition and influence of nutritional decline into protein energy wasting.
Design And Methods: Identical dialysis monitors, membranes, and dialysate/infusate were used to ensure consistency.

Objective: The objective of the study was to quantify the loss of total amino acids (TAAs), nonessential amino acids, essential amino acids, and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) produced by high-efficiency hemodialysis (HEHD), postdilution hemodiafiltration (HDFpost), and predilution hemodiafiltration (HDFpre) using high ultrafiltration volumes; and to define the specific AA losses registered in HEHD, HDFpost, and HDFpre; to identify a potential metabolic and nutritional decline into protein energy wasting; to compare AA analysis of arterial blood samples taken from healthy controls and patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis.
Design And Methods: Identical dialysis monitors, membranes, and dialysate/infusate were used to homogenize extracorporeal body influence. Ten patients were recruited and randomized to receive treatment with HEHD, HDFpost, and HDFpre it was used on-line dialytic water methodologies (OL); patients' AA arterial concentrations were measured at the start and on completion of dialysis; TAA from the dialyzer filter was calculated, and baseline levels were subsequently compared with findings obtained 1 year later.
