Background

We studied if higher hemodialysis (HD) dose and less intradialytic hypotension (IDH) would associate with longitudinal improvements in dialysis recovery time (DRT).

Methods

We used data from adult HD patients at a large dialysis organization who responded to DRT survey ≤180 days from first date of dialysis (FDD) during 2014 to 2017. DRT survey asks: “How long does it take you to be able to return to your normal activities after your dialysis treatment?”. Answers are: <0.5, 0.5-1, 1-2, 2-4, or >4 hours. A logistic regression model computed odds ratio for increased/maintained longer DRT (increase above DRT >2 hours) in reference to decreased/maintained shorter DRT (decrease below DRT <2 hours, or from DRT >4 hours). Changes in DRT were calculated from incident (≤180 days FDD) to prevalent (>365-to-≤545 days FDD) year. Model included/adjusted for incident DRT, age, comorbidities, HD with IDH episodes/month, Kt/V, and HD start before/after 1200 hours.

Results

Among 98616 incident HD patients (age 62.6±14.4 years), higher incident spKt/V associated with 13.5% (OR=0.865; 95%CI 0.801-to-0.935) lower odds of increased/maintained longer DRT in the prevalent year (Figure 1). A higher incident number of HD sessions with IDH episodes/month and change to a higher number associated with 0.8% (OR=1.008; 95%CI 1.001-to-1.015) and 2.2% (OR=1.022 ;95%CI 1.015-to-1.028) higher odds of increased/maintained longer DRT in the prevalent year, respectively.

Conclusion

Incident patients who had higher spKt/V with a low number of HD sessions with IDH episodes had a lower likelihood of increased/maintained longer DRT in first year of HD. Dose optimization strategies with cardiac stability in fluid removal should be tested.
