RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PES14LF polyethersulfone highflux dialyzer on maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients. Methods A total of 72 MHD patients from two hospitals in Shanghai were enrolled in a randomized parallel controlled study.Conventional hemodialysis was performed for 4 h with PES14LF dialyzer in trial group and with German F6 dialyzer in control group.For each patient the study lasted one week.The clearances of urea,creatinine and phosphate were calculated.Adverse event and adverse reaction were recorded.Results There were no significant difierences of urea and creatinine clearance and reduction ratio between trial and control group.The phosphate clearance in trial group was significantly higher than that in control group[(144.57±27.83)ml/min vs(117.15±22.77)ml/min,P＜0.051.There was no significant difference of phosphate reduction ratio between trial and control group.The efficiency of urea clearance and urea reduction ratio achieved clinic effective target in two groups and no significant differences in above indexes between two groups were found. Conclusion PES14LF dialyzer is effective and safe for clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of polyethersulfone highlux dialyzer for maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods Thirty-six maintenance hemodialysis patients were randomizedresigned into two groups,polyethersulfone 14HF(PES-14HF)group and polyethersulfone 150DS(PES-150DS)group,based on a random number table. The patients from two groups received different dialyzer hemodialysis for over 3.5 hours/each time respectively. Changes of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin,hemoglobin and albumin levels were measured for determination of the efficacy and safety evaluation. Results In the comparison between before or after hemodialysis,the level of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin levels decreased significantly to(333.8 ± 89. 5)μmol/L,(7. 0 ± 1.9)mmol/L,(22. 9 ± 1.7)mmol/L from(990. 2 ± 191.2)μmol/L,(24. 7 ± 4. 1)mmol/L,(13.6 ± 3.3)mmol/L respectively in the PES1 4 HF group(P ＜ 0.01);the level of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin levels decreased significantly to(395.5 ± 86.1)μmol/L,(8. 1± 2. 8)mnol/L,(18.0 ± 3.0)mmol/L from(1059. 5 ± 179. 4)μmol/L,(25.3 ± 4. 8)mmol/L,(22. 3 ± 2. 9)mmol/L respectively in the PES-150DS group(P ＜ 0. 01). We found no significant differences in each measured index between two types of hemodialysis(P ＞ 0. 05 respectively),while the level of β2 -microglobulin levels decreased more significantly in the PES14HF group(42. 81 ± 12. 48)mg/L than PES-150DS group(24. 21 ± 13. 24)mg/L(P =0. 017). Conclusions The efficacy and safety of the PES-14HF hollow fiber membrane hemodialyzer is equivalent to that of the PES-150DS hemodialyzer in hemodialysis for uremic patients.
RESUMO
Introdução: A qualidade do tratamento hemodialítico depende das características da membrana utilizada. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho de dialisadores de fibra oca de polietersulfona na condição de usos múltiplos. Métodos: Trinta pacientes em programa de diálise, previamente dialisados com membranas de polisulfona, passaram a ser dialisados com membranas de polietersulfona. Os filtros foram reutilizados através de técnicas de reprocessamento automático. As concentrações de uréia, creatinina, fósforo e β2microglobulina (β2MG) foram avaliadas no 1º, 6º, 12º e 18º usos. A eficiência da diálise foi avaliada pelo Kt/V de uréia. Resultados: Nove filtros apresentaram ruptura da membrana durante o reprocessamento, tendo sido o problema resolvido após ajustes na pressão de água na sala de reuso. Um paciente foi excluído por apresentar trombose da fístula arteriovenosa. Vinte pacientes completaram o estudo, nos quais a concentração pré-diálise de uréia, creatinina, fósforo e o Kt/V não se modificaram durante a realização doestudo. Entretanto, houve uma redução significativa no nível sérico de β2MG pré-diálise após a troca para os dialisadores de polietersulfona (42,5±6,8 vs 27,6±3,1mg/dL; p<0,05). Ocorreu, também, uma redução média de 28% no nível sérico pré e pós-diálise de β2MG, sendo que a intensidade dessa redução não foi influenciada pelo reuso do capilar. Conclusões: Nosso estudo mostra que o reuso de dialisadores com membrana de polietersulfona não se associa com redução do desempenho do filtro. O nível sérico pré-diálise de β2MG se reduziu após a transferência de polisulfona para polietersulfona, sendo que essa redução não foi influenciada pelo reuso do filtro.
Introduction: The quality of the hemodialysis therapy depends on the properties of the dialyzer membrane. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of hollow fiber hemodialyzers with polyethersulfone membranes in conditions of multiple use. Methods: Thirty patients on maintenance hemodialysis were switched from polysulfone to polyethersulfone membranes. The filters were reused by automatic techniques of dialyzer reuse. The blood urea, creatinine, phosphorus and β2microglobulin (β2MG) concentrations were measured in the 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th use. The efficiency of the dialysis was evaluated by urea Kt/V. Results: Rupture of polyethersulfone membrane was observed in nine filters during reuse, and the problem was resolved after adjustments in the water pressure in the reuse room. One patient was excluded from the study due to thrombosis of the arteriovenous access. Twenty patients completed the study. For these patients, there were no changes in pre-dialysis blood urea, creatinine and phosphorus concentration during the study. Also, there was no difference in Kt/V. However, there was a significant reduction in pre-dialysis β2MG concentration after having switched to polyethersulfone membrane (42.5±6.8 vs. 27.6±3.1mg/dL; p<0.05). Furthermore, we observed a decrease of 28% between pre and post dialysis β2MG concentration, and no relationship between β2MG concentration pre and post dialysis and dialyzer reuse. Conclusions: Our study suggests that the reuse of the polyethersulfone hemodialyzer is not associated with changes in performance of the filter. Neither the predialysis β2MG concentration decrease after switching the patient from polysulfone to polyethersulfone membrane nor the intensity of this reduction is influenced by filter reuse.
