  • Title: [Ways of intensification of hemodialysis therapy].
    Author: Filiptsev PIa, Kirkhman VV, Timokhov VS.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1988; 60(6):44-7. PubMed ID: 3206368.
    Abstract:
    Three methods of intensive hemodialysis were compared: routine hemodialysis (HD) (12 h/m2/week), HD on a highly permeable membrane with ultrafiltration (ordinary in volume and increased up to 10.5 l), and hemodiafiltration with the replacement of 16.4 l. Clearance, pre- and postdialysis concentration in the plasma of urea, creatinine, phosphate and average molecular mass substances were analyzed during investigation; dynamometry was used at the beginning and end of investigation to assess right forearm muscle strength. Better results were obtained with hemodiafiltration. The successive use of three methods of hemodialysis resulted in the patients' improved somatic state and a significant increase in muscle strength. In the authors' opinion, the use of hemodiafiltration would facilitate rehabilitation and reduce a period of preparation of uremic patients for kidney transplantation.
