    Biofiltration (BF) improved acid-base balance in hemodialysis patients by better controlling acidosis. Bicarbonate infusion during BF can be predicted to prevent postdialysis alkalosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Standard hemodialysis (HD) can lead to acid-base disturbances.
    • Biofiltration (BF) offers an alternative approach to dialysis.
    • Maintaining acid-base balance is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate acid-base balance during biofiltration.
    • To compare two different biofiltration protocols.
    • To determine optimal bicarbonate infusion strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Six hemodialysis patients were switched to two biofiltration protocols (BF-4h and BF-3h) using AN69-S membranes.
    • Arterial acid-base parameters were monitored hourly during biofiltration.
    • Bicarbonate (HCO3) was infused to maintain arterial HCO3 below 25 mEq/l.

    Main Results:

    • Biofiltration resulted in better control of acidosis compared to standard hemodialysis.
    • A reduction in intradialytic pCO2 decrease and hypoxemia was observed during BF.
    • The amount of bicarbonate infused correlated with the patient's bicarbonate deficit.

    Conclusions:

    • Biofiltration provides superior acid-base control in hemodialysis patients.
    • Bicarbonate infusion during biofiltration can be accurately predicted based on patient deficits.
    • This prediction helps avoid postdialysis alkalosis and optimize treatment.
