Background
Although HDF improves the clearance and pre-dialysis concentration of middle size molecules, little is known about its effect on concentration of protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUT) particularly in comparison to HD. Here, we investigated whether HDF impacts pre-dialysis plasma levels of the PBUTs indoxyl sulfate (IxS), p-cresyl sulfate (pCS) and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) compared to HD.
Methods
This is post-hoc analysis of the multicentric randomized controlled trial studying the impact of HDF versus hf-HD on measured physical activity (HDFit - clinicalTrials.gov: NCT02787161), which included clinically stable HD patients with a vintage >3 to <24 months. Total plasma levels of IxS, pCS and IAA were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Mean difference in pre-dialysis PBUTs between HDF and hf-HD during the 6 months was estimated by linear mixed effect models.
Results
One hundred ninety-three patients (mean age 53 years old, 70% males and 60% white) were analyzed. There were no differences between HD and HDF groups regarding clinical and biochemical characteristics at the baseline. In the HDF group, 99% of patients achieved a convective volume higher than 22 L. The mean differences (95% CI) in concentrations over time for PBUTs among HDF and HD groups are shown in the Figure.
Conclusion
In this post-hoc analysis of the HDFit trial, high-volume HDF consistently reduced pre-dialysis concentration of IxS compared to hf-HD. These results demonstrate the sustained effect of mixed-diffuse convective methods in the removal of PBUTs compared to predominantly diffuse techniques.
