Paired filtration dialysis with charcoal regeneration offers an effective hemodiafiltration method. This technique uses regenerated ultrafiltrate as endogenous replacement fluid, simplifying treatment and improving acidosis control.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Paired filtration dialysis (PFD) is a unique hemodiafiltration (HDF) method producing ultrafiltrate (Uf) with plasma-like composition.
  • Regenerating Uf through a charcoal cartridge removes toxins while retaining electrolytes and bicarbonate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel PFD technique utilizing regenerated Uf as endogenous replacement fluid (PFD-Charcoal).
  • To assess the impact of PFD-Charcoal on biochemical parameters and clinical tolerance in hemodiafiltration patients.

Main Methods:

  • A 12-month prospective study involving 13 patients previously on conventional PFD.
  • Treatment consisted of 3 sessions per week, each lasting 3 hours, using the PFD-Charcoal technique.
  • Continuous ultrafiltration regeneration via an uncoated adsorbent charcoal cartridge.

Main Results:

  • Excellent biochemical results with stabilized parameters including urea, creatinine, uric acid, electrolytes, and beta-2-microglobulin.
  • Statistically significant improvement in acidosis control observed after 6 months.
  • Excellent clinical tolerance and significant simplification of the HDF procedure.

Conclusions:

  • PFD-Charcoal is a viable and effective HDF technique.
  • It eliminates the need for exogenous replacement fluids by utilizing regenerated Uf as an endogenous bicarbonate-containing substitution fluid.
  • The technique offers improved patient management and treatment reliability.
