Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

High-efficiency post-dilution online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) using high-flux dialyzer and requiring high blood flow rate (BF ≥400 mL/min) has been reported to enhance protein-bound toxin and middle molecular toxin removal and improve patient survival. Unfortunately, the majority of patients could not reach that high BF because of vascular access issue. This randomized crossover study was conducted to compare these uremic toxin removals between the new modality (limited BF OL-HDF with super high-flux dialyzer) and the control (high-efficiency OL-HDF). The OL-HDF patients were randomized to undergo either new modality or control for 2 weeks before crossover to the other modality for another 2 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Elevated protein-bound toxins including p-cresol (pCS) and indoxyl sulfate (IDS) as well as middle-molecular toxins such as beta2-microglobulin (B2M) which could not be removed by hemodialysis (HD) are obviously correlated with high mortality. High-efficiency post-dilution online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) using high-flux dialyzer and requiring high blood flow rate (BF ≥400 mL/min) has been reported to enhance pCS, IDS, and B2M removal and improve patient survival. Unfortunately, the majority of patients could not reach that high BF because of vascular access issue. We innovated the OL-HDF modality for this limited BF situation by integrating the novel super high-flux membrane dialyzer (SHF; PES-17Dα, Nipro Corporation, Japan) into pre-dilution OL-HDF. This randomized crossover study was conducted to compare the uremic toxin removals between the new modality (limited BF OL-HDF with SHF) and the control (high-efficiency OL-HDF). The OL-HDF patients were randomized to undergo either new modality or control for 2 weeks before crossover to the other modality for another 2 weeks. Removals of pCS and IDS as well as small and middle molecule toxins were compared. The pCS and IDS were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The dialysate albumin loss and patient safety were also monitored.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Limited BF OL-HDF with SHF

Limited blood flow pre-dilution online hemodiafiltration using super high-flux dialyzer which had larger pore size than standard high-flux dialyzer was assigned as the new intervention to compare the efficacy of protein-bound toxin removals with the control period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Limited BF OL-HDF with SHF

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The new modality "Limited BF OL-HDF with SHF" were performed using Fresenius 5008 hemodiafiltration machine. The prescribed blood flow rate was 300 ml/min and the total dialysis fluid flow rate was 800 ml/min which included pre-filter substitution rate of 150 ml/min. The super high-flux dialyzer was PES-17Dα from Nipro Corporation, Japan which contains 1.7 m2 hollow fiber polyethersulfone membrane (ultrafiltration coefficient 80 ml/h/mmHg; urea clearance 267 ml/min, Qb 300 ml/min and Qd 500ml/min). The patients were received this treatment thrice-a-week for 2 week before entering the wash-out period and crossover to another arm.

High-efficiency OL-HDF

High-efficiency post-dilution online hemodiafiltration using standard high-flux dialyzer was assigned as the control period.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

High-efficiency OL-HDF

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The controlled modality "High-efficiency OL-HDF" were performed using Fresenius 5008 hemodiafiltration machine. The prescribed blood flow rate was 400 ml/min and the total dialysis fluid flow rate was 800 ml/min which included post-filter substitution rate of 100 ml/min. The standard high-flux dialyzer that was used was HF80s from Fresenius Medical Care, Germany contains 1.8 m2 hollow fiber polysulfone membrane (ultrafiltration coefficient 55 ml/h/mmHg; urea clearance 248 ml/min, Qb 300ml/min and Qd 500 ml/min). The patients were received this treatment thrice-a-week for 2 week before entering the wash-out period and crossover to another arm.
