Chronic haemodialysis patients showed decreased serum vanadium levels during treatment. Vanadium transferred from blood to dialysate across the membrane during haemodialysis, indicating a removal process.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Vanadium exposure is a concern in certain populations.
  • Chronic kidney disease patients undergoing haemodialysis may have altered trace element metabolism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the transport and removal of vanadium during haemodialysis.
  • To quantify serum vanadium levels in haemodialysis patients.

Main Methods:

  • Blood samples were collected from 100 chronic haemodialysis patients.
  • Serum vanadium levels were measured at inflow and outflow sites during haemodialysis.
  • Analysis of vanadium transfer across the haemodialysis membrane.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in serum vanadium levels were observed between inflow and outflow blood.

  • Vanadium was detected as transferring from the patient's blood to the dialysate.
  • Serum vanadium concentrations decreased over the course of the haemodialysis session.

    • Conclusions:

    • Haemodialysis effectively removes vanadium from the blood in chronic haemodialysis patients.
    • The haemodialysis membrane facilitates vanadium transfer from blood to dialysate.
    • Monitoring serum vanadium may be relevant in haemodialysis patients with potential exposure.
