About this study

This is a prospective cross-over study including 10 stable hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5. The cross-over study lasts 2 weeks with the study dialysis sessions at midweek.

During one session, the patient will be dialyzed during 4 hours with high volume post dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) with an FX800 hemodialyzer (Fresenius Medical Care) and a blood flow of 300mL/min, dialysate flow of 500mL/min, and substitution flow of 75mL/min.

During the other midweek session, the patient will be dialyzed during 8 hours with high flux hemodialysis (HD) with an FX80 hemodialyzer (Fresenius Medical Care) and a blood flow of 200mL/min and a dialysate flow of 500mL/min.

The HDF and HD sessions will be randomized. Blood samples will be drawn pre and post dialysis from the arterial blood line, and after 30min after dialysis start, a blood sample will be drawn from the inlet and outlet line.

At the dialysate outlet line, partial dialysate collection is performed at the outlet line.

Blood and dialysate samples will be analyzed for a broad range of retention solutes like small and water soluble solutes, middle molecules, and protein bound solutes.

These data will be further used to calculate solute removal and evaluate any differences between the solute removal during high volume post dilution HDF and high flux HD.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • High volume post dilution hemodiafiltrationDevice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Uremic retention solute concentrations from pre and post dialysis blood samples,dialyzer inlet and outlet blood samples,and spent dialysate samples.

    Blood and dialysate samples will be analyzed for the concentration of small water soluble solutes, protein bound solutes and middle molecules. Concentrations will be used to calculate different adequacy parameters in order to compare HDF with hemodialysis (HD). Pre to post dialysis during 4h post dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF).

    Measured: During 4 hours

  2. Uremic retention solute concentrations from pre and post dialysis blood samples,dialyzer inlet and outlet blood samples,and spent dialysate samples.

    Blood and dialysate samples will be analyzed for the concentration of small water soluble solutes, protein bound solutes and middle molecules. Concentrations will be used to calculate different adequacy parameters in order to compare HDF with HD. Pre to post dialysis during 8h high flux HD.

    Measured: During 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High volume post dilution hemodiafiltration and high flux hemodialysis in people with End-stage Renal Disease, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Uremic retention solute concentrations from pre and post dialysis blood samples,dialyzer inlet and outlet blood samples,and spent dialysate samples. (time frame: During 4 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Dec 2022.
