Two spent dialysate samples are sufficient for hemodialysis efficacy assessment
The measure of dialysis efficacy is expressed as Kt/V value (calculated from predialysis and postdialysis blood urea concentration). The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of direct calculation of Kt/V value from two spent dialysate samples by using the regular blood-based Kt/V calculation formula with dialysate samples used as surrogates for blood samples, and to detect the most appropriate couple of dialysate samples for Kt/V estimation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-two single hemodialysis treatments in 34 anuric patients on chronic bicarbonate low-flux hemodialysis were observed. Kt/V values according to Daugirdas formula from two blood samples and from two dialysate samples were calculated. RESULTS: Kt/V values calculated according to Daugirdas 2 nd generation formula from blood samples (Kt/V sp Daugirdas) were in significant correlation with all Kt/V values obtained from two spent dialysate samples. The highest correlation coefficient (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) and the least standard error of mean of the differences were found between Kt/V sp Daugirdas and value obtained with substitution of urea concentration from dialysate samples taken 60 minutes after dialysis start and at the end of the dialysis into Daugirdas 2 nd generation formula (Kt/V D C D(60) -C D(e) ), which can be expressed as a equation of linear regression y = 0.47 + 0.86x. The highest correlation coefficient (r =0.74, p < 0.001) was found between Kt/V sp Daugirdas values equilibrated according to Daugirdas rate formula, and Kt/V D C D(60) -C D(e) value, which can also be expressed as an equation of linear regression y = 0.43 + 0.73x. CONCLUSION: The results of this study clearly show the sufficiency of only two spent dialysate samples for direct estimation of the Kt/V values, with no blood sample required.
