A total of 60 subjects sheduled for
hemodialysis at our hospital in 2012 were randomly divided into two groups of 3-month HFHD and 3-month low-flux
hemodialysis (LFHD) (
n = 30 each). The levels of serum factors, such as FGF-23, were observed before and after 3-month
hemodialysis to evaluate the
hemodialysis sufficiency of two groups and analyze the effects of FGF-23 related factors as well as different kinds of
hemodialysis on microinflammatory state, biochemical indices and dialysis sufficiency.
RESULTS: Before
hemodialysis, no intergroup statistical difference (P > 0. 05) existed in age, gender, basic disease, nutrition and levels of
hemoglobin (Hb),
albumin (ALB), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Ca2+,P3-
parathyroid hormone (PTIH) and FGF-23 before treatment. After 3-month
hemodialysis in two groups, there were a negative correlation between FGF-23, Ca2 + or 1, 25-(OH)2VitD3, a positive correlation between FGF-23 and ALB, P3-, PTH,
C-reactive protein (CHRP) or
interleukin-6 (IL-6l) and a negative correlation between FGF 23 and HFHD group (P <0. 05) and no significant correlation between FGF-23 and Hb or KT/V (P < 0. 05). Variance analyses were conducted for each factor before and after
hemodialysis, indicating that Hb, ALB and Ca2+ significantly increased in both groups after 3-month
hemodialysis (P <0. 05) and 1, 25-(OH)2VitD3 significantly elevated in HFHD group (P < 0. 05) but not in LFHD (> 0. 05 . Serum
phosphate significantly decreased after 3-month
hemodialysis in both groups (P <0. 05) and CHIP, IL-6l, PTH and FGF-23 significantly decreased in HFHD group (P <0. 05), but not in LFHD group (P >0. 05). The levels of P3-, CRP, IL-6, PTH and FGF-23 after 3-month
hemodialysis were significantly lower in HFHD group than those in LFHD group (P <0. 05) while the levels of Hb and 1, 25-(
OH)2VitD3 after 3-month
hemodialysis were significantly elevated in HFHD group compared with those in LFHD group (P < 0. 05). And no significant inter-group difference existed in the levels of Ca2 ALB and KT/V.
CCONCLUSIONS: Compared with LFHD, HFHD is superior in treating
anemia and improving nutrition. And HFHD can better decrease FGF-23, correct
calcium and phosphorous metabolic disorder and improve micro-inflammatory state.
