ULtrafiltration-Rate Induced CArdiac Strain (ULRICA) - Study
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Ultrafiltration rate: Fluid removal during HD will be linear. The time on HD for fluid removal is adjusted after a formula for interdialytic weight gain / removal time (see Goto et al 2023).
Study summary
Patients performing chronic hemodialysis (HD) retain more or less water between dialyses. The water is removed by ultrafiltration and usually during the cleansing of waste products - the HD. The length of HD is usually the same as the time of fluid removal while sometimes this may differ. There is no clear guideline. In previous research the investigator noted that the heart releases more NT-pro-BNP during HD in numerous of the patients.
The present study aims to clarify if the speed of fluid removal during HD is a factor that may alter the release of cardiac markers during HD. If so the recommendations for the prescription of HD can be updated.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in NT-pro-BNP (proBNP) — Per patient: two dialyses within 8 days; Study period:1 year
The investigation focuses on the marker for cardiac strain pro-BNP (ng/L). Question: Does the heart get less release of markers for cardiac strain upon a slower speed of fluid removal.
