Background
End stage kidney disease (ESKD) is accompanied by accumulation of uremic solutes in the blood. Many of these are rapidly cleared during hemodialysis (HD), leading some to postulate that rapid decline in serum osmolality may be associated with development of adverse symptoms and intra-dialytic hypotension (IDH).
Methods
We performed a prospective cohort study of 50 hospitalized adult patients with ESKD receiving thrice-weekly HD. Measured Osmolality (mOsm) and intradialytic symptoms (ascertained by SMaRRT-HD questionnaire) were measured at three time points during a single inpatient HD session (pre-HD, 60 minutes, and post-HD). Blood pressure was measured every 15 minutes during HD. Spearman correlations were used to compare the pre-HD mOsm with patient reported outcome symptom scores; logistic regression was used to assess the association of mOsm with IDH (any decline in SBP <90 mmHg).
Results
Mean age was 65±15 years; 42% were female. The calculated Osm was an average of 1 unit higher than the mOSm, but varied widely (median difference 1 [-1, 4] milliOsm/kg). Mean mOsm decreased from 292±9mOsm/kg pre-HD, to 286±6 at 60 mins, 284±5 post-HD. The mean total symptom score was 14.8±3 pre-HD, 14.5±2.8 at 60mins, 15.1±3.4 post-HD. Correlations between pre-HD mOsm and symptom scores are shown in Table 1. IDH occurred in 9 of 50 (18%) sessions; each 5 unit increase in mOsm was associated with 43% higher risk of IDH (OR 1.43; 95%CI 0.95 to 2.14). Similar estimates were noted upon adjustment for age, sex, and pre-HD SBP (OR 1.44; 95%CI 0.90 to 2.32).
Conclusion
This prospective cohort study in hospitalized HD patients found substantial variability between measured and calculated Osm. Minimal correlation between mOsm and symptoms were noted, but may have been limited by minimal symptom scores overall. Signals for association of higher pre-HD mOsm with higher risk of IDH require investigation in larger studies.
