High albumin leakage rather than increased dialysis dose can increase the α1-microglobulin reduction ratio in patients on predilution online hemodiafiltration
摘要
When increasing the reduction ratio (RR) of α1-microglobulin (α1MG) to improve symptoms, the dialysis dose is usually increased. However, no studies on its effectiveness have been reported.
MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 113 patients on predilution online hemodiafiltration (pre-OHDF) as of 1 July 2023. Univariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate factors associated with the RR of α1MG.
ResultsIn univariate analysis, the RR of α1MG was significantly correlated with age, normalized protein catabolism rate (nPCR), membrane surface area, blood flow rate, ultrafiltration volume, and albumin leakage, but not with body mass index, albumin, C-reactive protein, substitution volume, transmembrane pressure, or Kt/V.
In multiple regression analysis, the RR of α1MG remained significantly correlated with nPCR (P = 0.007) and albumin leakage (P < 0.001).
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that in patients undergoing pre-OHDF with high protein intake, the use of high albumin leakage membranes rather than increasing the dialysis dose can significantly increase the RR of α1MG.
