Background

The accumulation of protein-bound uremic toxins(PBUT), which is not easily removed in conventional hemodialysis (HD), is associated with increased cardiovascular outcomes in dialysis patients. High-efficiency HD is known to eliminate uremic toxins more efficiently, but data regarding PBUTs and dialysis modalities, especially medium cut-off (MCO) membrane, is scarce. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the efficacy of PBUTs clearance according to dialysis modalities.

Methods

In this prospective cross over multicenter study, dialysis removal of uremic toxins including urea, lambda free light chain(λ-FLC), beta 2-microglobulin(β2MG), indoxyl sulfate(IS), and p-cresyl sulfate(pCS) were measured in the 22 HD patients on high-flux HD (HF-HD) with FX CorDiax80, post-dilution online hemodiafiltration (Post-OL-HDF) with Fx CorDiax800, MCD-HD with Theranova 500 over three weeks each (Figure 1).

Results

The average convection volume in Post-OL-HDF was 21.4±1.8L per session. The reduction rate(RR) of middle-molecular weight uremic toxins was significantly higher in MCO-HD and Post-OL-HDF than in HF-HD. The RR of λ-FLC was higher (p=0.001), while the RR of B2MG was lower (p=0.004) in MCO-HD than in Post-OL-HDF. The dialysate albumin was highest in MCO-HD (2547.3±968.3mg/session), followed by Post-OL-HDF (778.3±313.2mg/session) and HF-HD (59.9±70.8mg/session). Post dialysis serum levels of IS (HF-HD: 15.3±10.4 mg/L, Post-OL-HDF: 12.9±6.8 mg/L in, MCO-HD: 13.1±7.1 mg/L) and pCS (HF-HD: 26.6±12.3 mg/L, Post-OL-HDF: 24.8±14.1 mg/L, MCO-HD: 23.4±13.7 mg/L) were not statistically different. Total solute removal of IS (HF-HD: 95.0±96.0 mg, Post-OL-HDF: 83.6±13.0 mg, MCO-HD: 74.3±66.8 mg), pCS (HF-HD: 114.6±58.1 mg, Post-OL-HDF: 126.2±69.5mg, MCO-HD: 101.7±57.4 mg), and dialytic clearance of IS (HF-HD: 22.1±19.9 mL/min, Post-OL-HDF: 19.5±17.2 mL/min, MCO-HD: 19.6±15.8 mL/min), pCS (HF-HD: 13.6±2.8 mL/min, Post-OL-HDF: 15.3±3.2 mL/min, MCO-HD: 14.1±3.9 mL/min) also did not show a significant difference.

Conclusion

This study shows no significant difference in the removal of PBUTs according to three dialysis modalities, even though albumin removal was the highest in MCO-HD.
