About this study

Official title: Effect of Sodium and Ultrafiltration Profiling on Hemodynamic Stability, Interdialytic Weight Gain, and Intradialytic Complications.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of sodium and UF profiling on hemodynamic stability, interdialytic weight gain, and intradialytic complications

Read the detailed description

Sodium and ultrafiltration profiling are method of dialysis in which dialysate sodium concentration and ultrafiltration rate are altered during the course of the dialysis session.

Several sodium profiling methods are available. Increasing, decreasing, or alternating sodium concentrations may be used, although decreasing profiling has been the most accepted. The decrease in dialysate sodium concentration may be linear, stepwise, or exponential As different sodium profiling methods may have distinct impacts, different dialysis modalities may also affect the outcome of profiling. Although not as commonly used, hemodiafiltration HDF which utilizes convective clearance in addition to diffusion, may change the results of sodium profiling Such intervention alleviates the acute decline in intravascular volume during ultrafiltration UF as well as the decline in intradialytic plasma osmolarity and the consequent disequilibrium syndrome Sodium profiling enhances the internal plasma refill rate and helps to stabilize the blood pressure, thus decreasing the risk of Intra dialytic hypotension. It is imperative to limit or prevent intradialytic hypotension since it does not only affect the patient's comfort but also increases the risk of vascular access thrombosis, myocardial fibrosis and stunning, cardiovascular events, and mortality So it has potential benefits in terms of intradialytic morbidity and mortality as well as quality of life and long-term cardiovascular events; nevertheless, it may also predispose to interdialytic hypernatremia and increased interdialytic hypernatremia and interdialytic weight gain IDWG and hypertension. Fatigue and thirst have been reported with sodium profiling and the resulting sodium overload.

Another method to avoid intradialytic hemodynamic instability is UF profiling. In it, a larger portion of total UF volume is extracted during the first part of a dialysis session, after which the UF rate is decreased in order to maintain hemodynamic stability However, achieving a correct intradialytic sodium balance is a much more difficult task in clinical practice. With the advances in technology, automatic computer-based programs can be used today to calculate intradialytic sodium removal. These models use real-time data from patients and are being used to reach underdialysis sodium, weight in Kg, and blood volume targets. Such biofeedback systems enable to achieve sodium balance neutral sodium profile and UF profile automatically. Currently, there are various commercial dialysis systems that calculate dialysate and UF profiles with algorithms based on the prescribed decrease in body weight and sodium mass.

The aim of study to determine which specific profiling methods is more efficacious in preventing specific symptoms and which profiling method has the most utility in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, more qualitative data is warranted for subjective analysis of quality of life and personal well-being.

    Sodium and ultrafiltration profiling are method of dialysis in which dialysate sodium concentration and ultrafiltration rate are altered during the course of the dialysis session

What is being measured

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

  1. systolic and diastolic blood pressure

    The primary outcome is systolic blood pressure (80 _130)mmhg and diastolic blood pressure within range (60_80)mmhg, A blood pressure within this range is considered indicative of a better health outcome for the purposes of our research

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Dialysis symptoms index

    The Dialysis Symptom Index is a validated instrument to assess CKD-related unpleasant symptoms, and it is comprised of 30 questions about the presence of specifc symptoms For each question querying presence vs. absence of a specifc symptom, symptom severity is assessed using a five-point Likert scale, with each response ranging from 0 to 4 (i.e., a response of "0" indicates "no," whereas a response of "4" indicates "yes: very much"). The minimum-maxi- mum Dialysis Symptom Index score ranges from 0 to 120,with higher scores indicating worse outcome

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dialysis; Complications, run by Assiut University.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Neveen Hassan (01069309948, nivoh86@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

systolic and diastolic blood pressure (time frame: 2 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06213129, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jan 2024.
