Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of How the Dose of Dialysis is Affected by Dialysate Flow Rate (NCT NCT00962000)

NCT ID: NCT00962000

Last Updated: 2025-07-24

Results Overview

The dose of dialysis delivered in a single treatment is commonly expressed in terms of Kt/Vurea, where K is the clearance of urea, t is the treatment time, and V is the urea distribution volume. When urea is removed from a single compartment during dialysis, it is called the "single-pool" Kt/V. Delivered Kt/Vurea was determined from pre-and post-dialysis BUN concentrations measured during the final treatment session of each group (ABAB or BABA).

800 mL/Min First
Subject starting dialysis flow rate set at 800mL/min. Following an BABA study design where B represents three consecutive dialysis treatments with a dialysate flow rate of 800 mL/min and A represents three consecutive treatments with a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL/min.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

The dose of dialysis delivered in a single treatment is commonly expressed in terms of Kt/Vurea, where K is the clearance of urea, t is the treatment time, and V is the urea distribution volume. The formula for equilibrated Kt/Vurea takes urea rebound into consideration. Delivered Kt/Vurea was determined from pre-and post-dialysis BUN concentrations measured during the final treatment session of each group (ABAB or BABA).
