Effect of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion on sleep quality in maintenance hemodialysis patients / 中国中西医结合急救杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of hemodialysis (HD) combined with hemoperfusion (HP) on sleep quality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods Sixty MHD patients admitted to Department of Blood Purification of Wuhan General Hospital of PLA from January to December 2016, 30 cases were treated with HD, and the other 30 cases were treated by HD+HP, the course of treatment was 12 weeks in both groups. The changes of serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were observed before treatment and 12 weeks after treatment; the sleep quality of all patients in the two groups were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Scale, and the correlations between the sleep quality of MHD patients andβ2-MG level, iPTH level were analyzed by Pearson linear correlation analysis. Results All the 60 patients completed the treatment. The serum β2-MG, iPTH levels and PSQI score after treatment were decreased obviously in HD+HP group compared with those before treatment, and the degrees of decrease in HD+HP group were more significant than those in the HD group [β2-MG (mg/L) 12.34±2.12 vs. 20.27±3.15, iPTH (ng/L) 224.54±100.28 vs. 398.42±155.37, PSQI score8.56±0.86 vs. 12.45±0.88, all P < 0.05]. Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that the PSQI score was significantly positively correlated with serum β2-MG, iPTH level (r respectively was 0.416 and 0.462, both P < 0.01). Conclusion HD+HP therapy can significantly improve the sleep quality of MHD patients, and the mechanism may be related to the elimination of serum iPTH and β2-MG from the body of MHD patients.
