July 6, 2013 updated by: James heaf, Herlev Hospital
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recycled dialysis fluid can supply enough clearance for hemodiaysis patients.

Detailed Description

Conventional hemodialysis uses large amounts of water, which hinders travel possibilies for home hemodialysis (HD) patients. We have developed a recycling system using 25-30 l dialysate per dialysis. In vitro investigations show that this results in adequate dialysis.

12 HD patients will be studied during two dialysis sessions. The first HD will be a conventional 4 hour dialysis, using single pass dialysate. The second will be an 8-hour HD using multipass (recycled) dialysate 25-30 l. Clearance of urea, creatinine, phosphate and cobalamin will be measured both in the patient and the dialysate. Patient symptoms will be recorded.
