NCT03319680

Brief Summary

Prospective randomized cross-over multicenter study to demonstrate the benefits of hemodialysis without acetate dialysate, with citrate. 32 weeks duration, in two phases. In the first, half of the patients started with citrate dialysate for 16 weeks and the other half with acetate dialysate, and then patients cross. The primary objective is to analyze the effect of citrate dialysate on acid base balance decreasing chronic metabolic acidosis and avoiding / reducing post-dialytic alkalosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect of citrate dialysate on acid base status in hemodialysis patients measured by pH, BEecf and Bicarbonate at the end of HD session.

    The anion gap will be calculated as: Anion gap = \[Na+\] - (\[Cl-\] + \[CO3H-\])

    32 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Compare the effect of citrate dialysate with acetate dialysate on calcium level

    32 weeks

  • Compare the effect of citrate dialysate with acetate dialysate on phosphate level

    32 weeks

  • Compare the effect of citrate dialysate with acetate dialysate on parathormone level.

    32 weeks

  • Inflammation status by blood determination of IL-6

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Outpatient conventional hemodialysis three times per week for at least three months.
  • Arteriovenous fistula as vascular access
  • Patients who have given their informed consent in writing.

You may not qualify if:

  • Catheter as vascular access
  • Allergy or intolerance to citrate
  • Patients with sufficient cognitive impairment that would prevent the compression of information and informed consent.
  • Inflammatory intercurrent diseases (chronic infections, autoimmune diseases or tumors) that can mask the results of the study.
