    Summary

    Maintaining osmolar stability is key for tolerating dehydration during dialysis. This study found no significant difference in tolerance between ultrafiltration alone and combined ultrafiltration with dialysis in uraemic patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Renal Medicine
    • Dialysis Technology

    Background:

    • Uraemic patients often experience fluid overload requiring ultrafiltration.
    • Managing fluid removal during dialysis is critical for patient stability.
    • Simultaneous dialysis and ultrafiltration aim to optimize fluid and solute removal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the tolerance of dehydration between two procedures in stabilised uraemic patients.
    • To investigate the role of osmolar stability during fluid removal in dialysis.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Gambro Ultradiffuser in managing fluid balance.

    Main Methods:

    • Five stabilised uraemic patients participated in the study.
    • Two procedures were performed: ultrafiltration alone and ultrafiltration with simultaneous dialysis for one hour each.

  • Dialysate sodium concentration was adjusted to maintain osmolality similar to ultrafiltration alone.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean body weight loss was comparable between ultrafiltration alone (2.97 kg) and combined procedure (2.92 kg).
    • No significant differences in tolerance to dehydration were observed between the two procedures.
    • The mean dialysate sodium concentration used was 154.75 mEq/L.

    Conclusions:

    • Osmolar stability plays a crucial role in ensuring dehydration tolerance during dialysis.
    • Both ultrafiltration alone and combined ultrafiltration with dialysis are well-tolerated when osmolar changes are managed.
    • The Gambro Ultradiffuser can be effectively used for fluid management in uraemic patients.
