Abstract

<i>Background: </i>Despite increasing knowledge of the uraemic syndrome, both morbidity and mortality remain unacceptably high in patients with chronic kidney disease. <i>Aim of the work: </i>investigate the differences between conventional hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration in the context of chronic kidney disease metabolic bone disease findings serum calcium (sCa), phosphate (sPO4) and intact parathyroid hormone (PTHint) concentrations. <i>Patients and methods: </i>This prospective cross over study was approved by Almaadi hospital committee and included 95 patients with CKD5 on regular hemodialysis for at least 6 months. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A: 60 patients scheduled 6 months conventional high flux (hf-HD) (Period1) followed by 6 months of post-dilutional–HDF (Period2). Group B: (controls) included 35 patients were kept on conventional hf-HD for 12 months. (Period3) for 1<sup>st</sup> 6 months and (Period4) for 2<sup>nd</sup> 6 months. The main variables evaluated at the start as well as at the end of each period were sCa, sPO4 and PTHint. <i>Results: </i>There was highly significant statistical decrease in Phosphorus level in period2 compared to other groups after 2<sup>nd</sup> to 6<sup>th</sup> month and average of overall (p<0.001). A significant statistical decrease was found in Parathormone level and CRP in period2 compared to other groups after 1 month to 6<sup>th</sup> month and average of overall (p<0.05). There was significant statistical decrease in Albumin level in period2 compared to other groups after 2<sup>nd</sup> to 6<sup>th</sup> month and average of overall (p<0.05). There was a significant statistical increase in kt/v in period2 compared to other groups after 1<sup>st</sup> to 6<sup>th</sup> month and average of overall (p<0.05). <i>Conclusion: </i>The switch over from conventional Hf-HD to Ol-HDF results in a significant reduction of both PO4 and PTH concentrations, no significant changes in Ca concentrations.

Highlights

  • Despite increasing knowledge of the uraemic syndrome, both morbidity and mortality remain unacceptably high in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) [1].Secondary hyperparathyroidism which characterized by increased secretion of parathermone (PTH), is one of the major serious complications in patients with CKD on long-term hemodialysis (HD)

  • There is no significant statistical difference between the four groups as regard Hemoglobin level in the basal (p>0.05), While there is significant statistical increase in Hemoglobin level in period 2 compared to other groupsafter the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5thmonth and average of overall (p
