Is Hemodialysis Associated With Cardiac Markers Change?

June 9, 2021 updated by: Osamah Hussein, Ziv Hospital

Effects of Hemodialysis With Cooled Dialysate on High Sensitive Cardiac Troponin I (TnI) and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT proBNP)

Hemodialysis (HD) triggers recurrent and cumulative ischemic insults to the brain and the heart. Cooled dialysate may have a protective effect on major organs and improve hemodynamic tolerability of dialysis. The aim of the study was to compare HD with cooled dialysate with routine dialysis in terms of hemodynamic stability and levels of high sensitivity Troponin I (hs-TnI) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) post dialysis

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of hypothermic dialysis with routine dialysis in terms of hemodynamic stability
Time Frame: one year
For each patient, four blood pressure measurements including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were performed at the beginning, after 2 hours, after 3 hours after 4 hours (end of hemodialysis).
one year
Assessments of the levels of high sensitivite Troponin I (hs-TnI) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) post dialysis
Time Frame: 6 months
Blood samples were collected at the beginning of the dialysis session, and a second sample was taken in the last 5 minutes of hemodialysis in order to evaluate the relationship between hemodialysis with cooled dialysate (hypothermic dialysis) and the myocardial markers hs-TnI and NTproBNP and to monitor hypothermic hemodiaysis treatment response.
6 months
