NCT00976846

Brief Summary

The proposed study seeks to determine the appropriate balance between the removal of undesirable small molecular substances (urea, creatinine, phosphate) and large molecular substances (ß2-m) and the retention of important substances (e.g.albumin) for the Baxter Xenium XPH dialyzer type under defined therapeutic conditions of olHDF primarily concerning filtration flow rates in relation to blood flow/plasma water flow rates. Furthermore the possibility of the removal of certain protein-bound substances shall be investigated together with the impact of increasing ultrafiltration on the parameters of the micro-inflammation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Concentration of urea, creatinine, phosphate and ß2-m (pre/post treatment in blood), concentration of albumin (pre/post treatment in blood and dialysate), hematocrit pre/post treatment (for correction of the impact of ultrafiltration on concentrations)

    3 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pre and post treatment: CMPF (metabolite of furan fatty acids), p-cresol, albumin binding capacity (ABIC) in blood and dialysate, pre and post treatment: IL-6, IL-1ß, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, CD14+/CD16+, CD62L+, CD11b+ in blood
