    Pneumatic Compression, But Not Exercise, Can Avoid Intradialytic Hypotension: A Randomized Trial
    (2017) ALVARES, Valeria R. C.; RAMOS, Camila D.; PEREIRA, Benedito J.; PINTO, Ana Lucia; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.; GUALANO, Bruno; ELIAS, Rosilene M.
    Background: Conventional hemodialysis (HD) is associated with dialysis-induced hypotension (DIH) and ineffective phosphate removal. As the main source of extracellular fluid removed during HD are the legs, we sought to reduce DIH and increase phosphate removal by using cycling and pneumatic compression, which would potentially provide higher venous return, preserving central blood flow and also offering more phosphate to the dialyzer. Methods: We evaluated 21 patients in a randomized crossover fashion in which each patient underwent 3 different HD: control; cycling exercise during the first 60 min; and pneumatic compression during the first 60 min. Data obtained included bioelectrical impedance, hourly blood pressure measurement, biochemical parameters, and direct quantification of phosphate through the dialysate. DIH was defined as a drop in mean arterial pressure (MAP) >= 20 mm Hg. Results: There was no difference in the ultrafiltration rate (p = 0.628), delta weight (p = 0.415), delta of total, intra and extracellular body water among the control, cycling, and pneumatic compression (p = 0.209, p = 0.348, and p = 0.467 respectively). Delta MAP was less changed by pneumatic compression when compared to control, cycling, and pneumatic compression respectively (-4.7 [-17.2, 8.2], -4.7 [-20.5, -0.2], and -2.3 [-8.1, 9.0] mm Hg; p = 0.021). DIH occurred in 43, 38, and 24% of patients in control, cycling, and pneumatic compression respectively (p = 0.014). Phosphate removal did not increase in any intervention (p = 0.486). Higher phosphate removal was dependent on ultrafiltration, pre dialysis serum phosphate, and higher parathyroid hormone. Conclusion: Pneumatic compression during the first hour of dialysis was associated with less DIH, albeit there was no effect on fluid parameters. Neither exercise nor pneumatic compression increased phosphate removal. (C) 2017 S. Karger AG, Basel

    Phosphate Removal During Conventional Hemodialysis: a Decades-Old Misconception
    (2018) ELIAS, Rosilene M.; ALVARES, Valeria R. C.; MOYSES, Rosa M. A.
    Background/Aims: Hyperphosphatemia is associated with high mortality rate in patients on dialysis. Conventional hemodialysis (HD) is a limit technique in removing phosphate (P). There is a widespread belief that P is removed mainly in the first hour of HD. The aim of this study was to certify the percentage of 1-hour removal of P as compared to the entire procedure. Methods: data from the first dialysis of the week of 21 patients (13 men, age 44 +/- 15 years), for 3 consecutive dialysis sessions were evaluated. Fresh dialysate samples were collected at 1 hour and at the end of the session from a partial spent dialysate collection method. Results: Pre dialysis serum P was 4.7 +/- 1.7 mg/dl. Reduction rate of serum P was 47.4 +/- 14.3 and 45.1 +/- 10.8% in 1- and 4-hour of HD, respectively (p=0.322). P removal was 194 (145, 242) mg in 1-hour (p<0.0001), which represents 25.0 +/- 0.2% of the total removed during the entire HD. Patients with pre dialysis P >= 5.5mg/dl had higher P removal during HD than those with P < 5.5mg/dl [975 (587, 1354) vs. 776 (580, 784) mg, p=0.025], although the percentage of removal in 1 hour was not different from those with P < 5.5mg/d (24.9 +/- 0.3 vs. 25.0 +/- 0.1%, p=0.918). P removal during dialysis correlated with pre dialysis serum P (r=0.455, p=0.001), parathormone (r=0.264, p=0.037) and ultrafiltration volume (r=0.343, p=0.019). Conclusion: despite the P serum concentration normalizing in the first hour of hemodialysis, the removal in the same period reaches only 25% of the entire session.
