Hemodynamic changes during acetate and bicarbonate hemodialysis.

F H Leenen, A J Buda, D L Smith

    Summary

    Hemodialysis with acetate dialysate causes significant blood pressure drops and changes in heart function, especially during initial use. Tolerance develops over time, but some effects persist, suggesting acetate itself impacts circulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cardiovascular Physiology

    Background:

    • Hemodialysis is a critical treatment for kidney failure.
    • Dialysate composition, particularly bicarbonate versus acetate, can influence patient hemodynamics.
    • Understanding these circulatory changes is vital for patient safety and treatment optimization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the circulatory effects of hemodialysis using bicarbonate versus acetate dialysate.
    • To assess changes at initial exposure and after two weeks of acclimatization.

    Main Methods:

    • A crossover, double-blind study design was employed.
    • Circulatory parameters including blood pressure and left ventricular (LV) function were monitored.
    • M-mode echocardiography was used to assess LV dimensions and ejection fraction.

    Main Results:

    • Bicarbonate dialysate caused minimal changes in blood pressure and LV function.
    • Acetate dialysate initially led to significant hypotension and altered LV dimensions with increased ejection fraction.
    • After acclimatization, tolerance to arterial vasodilation from acetate emerged, but venous effects persisted, indicated by reduced LV end-diastolic dimension.

    Conclusions:

    • Circulatory alterations during hemodialysis may be attributed to the acetate buffer itself, rather than solely fluid shifts or autonomic dysfunction.
    • Acetate's vasodilatory effects, particularly on venous return, require consideration in hemodialysis management.
    • The findings highlight the importance of dialysate composition in managing cardiovascular stability during renal replacement therapy.
