Biofiltration, a hemodiafiltration method, offers a simple, safe alternative to bicarbonate dialysis. This technique effectively manages plasma bicarbonate levels and is a promising approach for future short-time, high-quality dialysis treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Renal Replacement Therapy

Background:

  • Bicarbonate dialysis presents challenges due to complex hardware and frequent troubleshooting.
  • Biofiltration offers a simplified approach to hemodiafiltration using a base-free dialysate and bicarbonate infusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of biofiltration as an alternative to bicarbonate dialysis.
  • To assess the suitability of biofiltration for short-time, high-quality dialysis strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A long-term follow-up study (6-24 months) involving 76 patients across 17 European dialysis centers.
  • Patients underwent a dialysis strategy of 3 hours, three times a week.
  • Monitoring of sodium dialysate concentration and bicarbonate infusion flow rate was crucial.

Main Results:

  • Biofiltration demonstrated a simple and safe alternative to bicarbonate dialysis.
  • Adequate sodium mass balance can be achieved through careful monitoring.
  • Plasma bicarbonate levels are easily controlled by adjusting the infusion flow rate.

Conclusions:

  • Biofiltration is a viable and safe alternative to bicarbonate dialysis.
  • The technique supports the trend towards shorter, higher-quality dialysis sessions.
  • Consideration of the additional costs for high-flux dialyzers and infusion fluid is necessary.
