METHODS: The combined observational study included 20 patients performing a total of 60 hemodialysis divided into three sessions of low-flux dialysis. None of the patients suffered from any clinically evident thromboembolic event before or during the study. Median bolus anticoagulation (mainly tinzaparin) doses were 84 Units/kg bow. Blood samples were drawn before HD (predialysis), and at 30min and 180min during HD with focus on analyzing D-dimer levels and its relation to interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and speed of fluid elimination by HD (UF-rate).
RESULTS: Predialysis, D-dimer levels (mean 0.767 ±0.821, min 0.136mg/L) were above the upper reference value in 95% of the sessions. D-dimer levels were lowered at 30min (p<0.001) and returned to predialysis levels at 180min. Predialysis D-dimer correlated with NT-pro-BNP, Troponin T, IDWG and UF-rate. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the D-dimer levels were significantly related to IDWG and the UF-rate.
CONCLUSIONS: D-dimer levels were elevated in a high proportion predialysis and during HD and related to the IDWG and the UF-rate. Awareness of D-dimer levels and future studies will help clarify if optimization of those variables, besides anticoagulation and biocompatibility measures, will eradicate the repeated subclinical thromboembolic events related to each HD; one reason that may explain organ damage and shortened life span of these patients.
方法:联合观察性研究包括20名患者,共进行60次血液透析,分为3次低流量透析。在研究之前或研究期间,没有患者发生任何临床上明显的血栓栓塞事件。平均推注抗凝(主要是丁扎肝素)剂量为84单位/kg弓。在HD(透析前)前抽取血样,在HD过程中30分钟和180分钟,重点分析D-二聚体水平及其与透析间体重增加(IDWG)和HD消除液体的速度(UF速率)的关系。
结果:透析前,在95%的会议中,D-二聚体水平(平均0.767±0.821,min0.136mg/L)高于上参考值。D-二聚体水平在30分钟时降低(p<0.001),并在180分钟时恢复到透析前水平。透析前D-二聚体与NT-pro-BNP相关,肌钙蛋白T,IDWG和UF费率。多元回归分析显示,D-二聚体水平与IDWG和UF率显着相关。
结论:D-二聚体水平在高比例透析前和HD期间升高,并且与IDWG和UF率相关。对D-二聚体水平的认识和未来的研究将有助于澄清这些变量的优化,除了抗凝和生物相容性措施,将根除与每次HD相关的重复亚临床血栓栓塞事件;一个可以解释这些患者器官损伤和寿命缩短的原因。
