On-line mixed hemodiafiltration with a feedback for ultrafiltration control: Effect on middle-molecule removal Luciano A. Pedrini, Vincenzo De Cristofaro Kidney International Volume 64, Issue 4, Pages (October 2003) DOI: /j x Copyright © 2003 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Schematic representation of the on-line system for mixed hemodiafiltration with the transmembrane pressure (TMP) feedback control device. Substitution fluid is diverted from the dialysate circuit (D) by a peristaltic pump (IP1) placed on the common Y branch of the infusion path (S). This divides the solution to the prefilter (QSpre-D) and postfilter (QSpost-D) infusion site. The rate of postdilution infusion is controlled by an additional pump (IP2). Four pressure transducers (P), placed at the inlet and outlet blood and dialysate ports of the filter (F), record and send continuous signals (dotted lines) to a personal computer (PC). The efferent signals (arrow) from the PC regulate the speed of IP2 in mixed hemodiafiltration. The system also works in posthemodiafiltration, where the Y branch of the infusion line connected to the prefilter site is clamped. More detailed explanations are in the text. UF1 and UF2 are the ultrafilters placed on the dialysate and substituate lines, respectively.

Figure 2 Graphic representation of one patient file record. (A) Mixed hemodiafiltration. At the start of the session, small shifts of infusion fluid from predilution (line b) to postdilution (line c) increase filtration fraction (FF) and stabilize mean transmembrane pressure (TMPm) (line a) within its planned operational range (250 to 300mm Hg). Subsequently, during the session, TMPm values exceeding the upper limit (*) are restored by opposite shifts of infusion fluid. (B) Posthemodiafiltration. TMPm control (line a) occurs through changes in the speed of the pump regulating the total infusion rate (line c).

Figure 5 Mean dialysate clearances for β2-microglobulin (β2-m) of the five experimental procedures. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA); P < Post hoc tests (significance at P < 0.05). Treatment effect: a, hemodialysis (HD) vs. posthemodiafiltration (post-HDF) and mixed hemodiafiltration; b, mixed hemodiafiltration (treatment D) vs. post-HDF; c, treatment E vs. treatment D.

Figure 6 Best fitting curves (polynomial 2nd order) relating β2-microglobulin (β2-m) KDQ with QS at three defined values for QPWin (a, 180mL/min; b, 220mL/min; c, 260mL/min). Analysis was performed on the pooled data of the five procedures (explanation in the text). The equation of the model is β-m KDQ = * QS * Q2S * Q2S * QPwin; R2 = 0.924, P < Algebraic solution of the equations for the coordinates of the vertex of each parabola [X= b/2a; Y=(b2- 4ac)/4a], provided the exact value for QS at which β2-m KDQ is maximal. a, KDQ 79.7mL/min at QS = 205mL/min, ratio QS/QPW = 1.1; b, KDQ 87.9mL/min at QS = 230mL/min, ratio QS/QPW = 1.05; c, KDQ 98.1mL/min at QS = 255mL/min, ratio QS/QPW = 0.98.
