Background

Studies have demonstrated poor phosphorus (P) control with thrice weekly hemodialysis (HD). However, these studies did not control for dietary P intake, nor test blood frequently during the intradialytic interval. We aimed to determine serum P reduction and rebound over 48h in HD patients consuming a controlled low P diet.

Methods

Serum P (mg/dL) was analyzed pre-HD and post-HD for 48h in patients (N=13) consuming a controlled diet of ~900 mg P/day taking part in a placebo arm of a clinical trial. Subjects had been off phosphate binders for 10 days. Linear regression was used to determine relationships between the decline in serum P post-HD (post-HD drop); 48h area under the curve of serum P (48h AUC); and pre-HD serum P (Pre-HD). Repeated Measures ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test was used to determine return to pre-HD serum P levels.

Results

In our controlled diet study, 5 of 13 subjects returned to >90% of their pre-HD serum P within the first 24h post-HD, and 11 of the 13 subjects by 48h after the completion of HD. Pre-HD serum P is positively associated with 48-hr AUC (P<0.001). We found an expected correlation (r= 0.58; P= 0.04) between post-HD drop in serum P and 48h AUC of serum P post-HD. All serum P measures in the 48h post-HD period were statistically different than pre-HD serum P (p<0.0001) until 48h post-HD (p=0.15).

Conclusion

Adhering to a low P diet, even in the absence of P binders, may benefit patients receiving HD by delaying post-HD serum P rebound. Delaying the return of serum P values to pre-HD levels to between 24h and 48h post-HD may lessen overall P exposure and may translate into achieving long-term target serum P values in HD patients.
