AI Article Synopsis

  • Extended nocturnal home hemodialysis is gaining attention, but there is a lack of data on different blood flow and needle strategies for effective dialysis.
  • The study used a model to analyze the effectiveness of various dialysis strategies, showing that extended dialysis with high and low blood flow significantly improved solute removal, particularly for β2-microglobulin and methylguanidine.
  • Findings suggest that low blood flow with double needles (DL-LF-8h) and single needles (SL-8h) are safe and effective options for nocturnal home hemodialysis.

Article Abstract

Extended nocturnal home hemodialysis has gained renewed interest. However, no removal data for single/double needle (lumen) (SL and DL, respectively) or for low/high blood flow in extended dialysis are available. Therefore, we studied dialysis adequacy in different nocturnal home hemodialysis strategies. Coupling a kinetic with a dialyzer model, we calculated a reduction ratio from pre- to post-dialysis (RR) and total solute removal (TSR) of urea, methylguanidine (MG), β2-microglobulin, and phosphate. Simulations were done for dialysis with blood flow Qb350 ml/min (DL-4h), extended DL high flow with Qb350 (DL-HF-8h) and low flow with Qb175 (DL-LF-8h), and SL with Qb273 (SL-8h). Compared to DL-4h, TSR was 28-59% larger for DL-HF-8h. TSR was most increased for β2-microglobulin (18%) with DL-LF-8h, and for MG (35%) with SL-8h. Furthermore, RRs were equal (DL-LF-8h), higher (SL-8h), and even more increased (DL-HF-8h) for all studied solutes. In the home setting, DL-LF-8h and SL-8h are safe and promising strategies.

: High-volume online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) has proven to be the most efficient dialysis modality and to offer better clinical outcomes in patients on hemodialysis. Longer and more frequent dialysis sessions have demonstrated clinical and survival benefits. : A single-center observational study of the first one hundred patients on nocturnal every-other-day OL-HDF was conducted with the aim of reporting the experience with this treatment schedule and evaluating analytical and clinical outcomes as well as the patient and technique survival.

Three-weekly 4-h hemodialysis/hemodiafiltration (HD/HDF) per week has become the "standard HD/HDF" regimen in children across the globe, although increasingly criticized, since crucial determinants such as residual kidney function and patient preferences are not considered. As a consequence, several children fail to achieve adequate dialysis while on a "standard HD/HDF." In these circumstances, an extended dialysis prescription such as short daily (2-3 h/session, 5-7 days a week) or nocturnal HD/HDF (6-9 h/session, 3-5 days a week), either at home or in a dialysis center, may be considered.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of intradialytic concurrent (resistance-endurance) training combined with melatonin (MEL) supplementation on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Methods: Thirty-two HD patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Exercise (EX)-MEL, EX-Placebo (PLA), and Control (C)-PLA. Participants in the EX-MEL and EX-PLA groups underwent 12 weeks of concurrent training.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in India, with a prevalence estimated at 13-15%. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an emerging threat, significantly contributing to CKD development. Over 50% of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients exhibit OSA symptoms.

Introduction One of the most important critical determinants of quality of life and adequacy of hemodialysis (HD) performed in patients is the recorded survival and mortality rates. Nowadays, as an adequately performed HD dialysis, we accept the one with reaching values for the index single pool Kt/V (spKt/V) higher than 1.2.
