ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication of haemodialysis, but uncommon in peritoneal dialysis (PD). This may be due to lower ultrafiltration rates in PD compared to haemodialysis, allowing for sufficient refilling of the blood plasma compartment from the interstitial volume, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here we assessed plasma volume and hemodynamic alterations during experimental PD with high versus low ultrafiltration rates.METHODS:
Experiments were conducted in two groups of healthy Sprague-Dawley rats one group with a high ultrafiltration rate (N = 7) induced by 8.5% glucose and a low UF group (N = 6; 1.5% glucose), with an initial assessment of the extracellular fluid volume, followed by 30 min PD with plasma volume measurements at baseline, 5, 10, 15 and 30 min. Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure and heart rate were continuously monitored during the experiment.RESULTS:
No significant changes over time in plasma volume, mean arterial pressure or central venous pressure were detected during the course of the experiments, despite an ultrafiltration (UF) rate of 56 mL/h/kg in the high UF group. In the high UF group, a decrease in extracellular fluid volume of -7 mL (-10.7% (95% confidence interval -13.8% to -7.6%)) was observed, in line with the average UF volume of 8.0 mL (standard deviation 0.5 mL).CONCLUSION:
Despite high UF rates, we found that plasma volumes were remarkably preserved in the present experiments, indicating effective refilling of the plasma compartment from interstitial tissues. Further studies should clarify which mechanisms preserve the plasma volume during high UF rates in PD.Palabras clave
