Desinfección térmica en hemodiálisis usando el concepto A0 como dosificador / Thermal disinfection in hemodialysis using the A0 concept as dispenser

Los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en programa de hemodiálisis se encuentran expuestos a grandes cantidades de agua, ya que esta constituye cerca del 96% del líquido de diálisis. Es conocido que el uso de agua de mejor calidad disminuye el estado de inflamación crónica en los pacientes en diálisis. La desinfección como parte del tratamiento del agua tiene un papel importante para cumplir los estándares de calidad establecidos. En la actualidad, la desinfección por calor es muy recomendable, sin embargo, la dosis no está claramente establecida en la bibliografía. El objetivo de esta revisión es conocer los datos disponibles sobre la dosis de desinfección por calor que se debe utilizar en hemodiálisis, así como presentar nuestra experiencia con este método a una dosis establecida de 12.000 A0

Patients with chronic kidney disease in the hemodialysis program are exposed to large amounts of water, as this constitutes about 96% of the dialysis fluid. It is known that the use of better quality water decreases the state of chronic inflammation in dialysis patients. Disinfection as part of water treatment plays an important role in meeting the established quality standards; currently, heat disinfection is highly recommended, however its dose is not clearly established in the literature. The objective of this review is to know what is available in the literature on the dose of heat disinfection that should be used in hemodialysis and to present our experience with this method at a set dose of 12.000 A0
