What is The Effect of Dialysate Flow Rate on Dialysis Adequacy and Fatigue in Hemodialysis Patients about?
## Purpose: In this single repeated measures study, an examination was done on the effects of dialysate flow rate on dialysis adequacy and fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis. ## Methods: This study was a prospective single center study in which repeated measures analysis of variance were used to compare kt/v urea (kt/v) and urea reduction ratio (urr) as dialysis adequacy measures and level of fatigue at different dialysate flow rates: twice as fast as the participant's own blood flow, 500 ml/min, and 700 ml/min. thirty-seven hemodialysis patients received all three dialysate flow rates using counterbalancing. ## Results: The kt/v (m±sd) was 1.40±0.25 at twice the blood flow rate, 1.41±0.23 at 500 ml/min, and 1.46±0.24 at 700 ml/min. the urr (m±sd) was 68.20±5.90 at twice the blood flow rate, 68.67±5.22 at 500 ml/min, and 70.11±5.13 at 700 ml/min. when dialysate flow rate was increased from twice the blood flow rate to 700 ml/min and from 500 ml/min to 700 ml/min, kt/v and urr showed relative gains. there was no difference in fatigue according to dialysate flow rate. ## Conclusion: Increasing the dialysate flow rate to 700 ml/min is associated with a significant nicrease in
