Background
SDHD with NSO has gained popularity as home HD prescription. Short HD sessions, as in use with NSO, might not allow adequate removal of P, which benefits from time to optimize removal.
Methods
We compared single run and weekly balances of P and Ca, and changes in plasma levels, in 25 pts treated with NSO in 2 centers with different prescription: 14 pts (Milan) were prescribed 6 runs/week (dialysate 22.7±3.8L/run, time 154±23min/run), 11 pts (Bari) 4 or 5 runs/week (mean 4,8+0,48, dialysate 24,1±3,5, time 194±24). Data were compared to those in 14 pts treated with BHD (3/week, 4 hours, dialysate 500ml/min).
Results
Are shown in table 1.
Conclusion
Despite lower P removal per run in NSO, weekly removal was equal (Bari) or higher (Milan) than in BHD. More frequent NSO runs (6) are more efficient than less frequent runs (4/5). Plasma P decrease was quantitatively similar in NSO and BHD, despite lower run duration. P removal was directly correlated with pre-HD plasma levels in both NSO and BHD. Plasma Ca level increased less in NSO than in BHD, yet PTH fell along the run; Ca balance was correlated to basal Ca levels and net UF; at observed UF, it was negative at plasma Ca>8.5mg/dL.
Our data show that SDHD with NSO, despite lower run time and dialysate volume, allows similar P removal as compared to BHD; plasma Ca changes and balance do not substantially differ in NSO and BHD.
