Introduction: Among patients with end-stage renal disease
(ESRD) who are treated with haemodialysis (HD), the solute
clearance during dialysis is a determinant of the mortality. Also,
elevated serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) or the Ca × P product
is associated with cardiovascular calcification and mortality in
these patients. Our study was aimed at assessing the targets
to be achieved, which were laid down by the NKF-K/DOQI
guidelines for the urea reduction ratio (URR), serum calcium
(Ca), phosphorus (P) and the Ca × P product in ESRD patients
who underwent haemodialysis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the pre-dialysis and
post-dialysis blood samples of 35 patients who were on
chronic haemodialysis. For the adequacy of the dialysis, the
urea reduction ratio (URR) was calculated by (predialysisurea –
postdialysisurea) divided by predialysisurea and it was expressed
in %. Calcium and phosphorus were measured from the fasting
blood samples and the Ca × P product was calculated.
Results: The mean urea reduction rate (URR) was 66.4%
(adequate URR is >65%). The Student’s t-test (paired) was
done on the results of the pre-dialysis and post-dialysis serum
urea, creatinine and the uric acid levels. There was a significant
(p<0.001) reduction in these parameters, thus suggesting the
adequacy of the dialysis. The levels of the mean serum calcium,
phosphorus and the Ca × P product were 8.59 ± 0.78 mg/dL,
5.82 ± 0.98 mg/dL and 49.88 ± 8.42 mg2
/dL2 respectively. There
was no achievement of the target phosphorus levels but the
target levels of calcium and the Ca × P product were achieved.
Conclusion: The NKF-K/DOQI target of the mean urea reduction
rate (URR) was achieved, thus suggesting the adequacy of the
dialysis. The NKF-K/DOQI target for mean phosphorus was not
achieved, thus suggesting the inadequacy of the oral phosphate
binders, poor compliance or no proper dietary phosphorus
reduction. |
