Effect of membrane flux and dialyzer biocompatibility on survival in end-stage diabetic nephropathy. Abstract Text:

AIMS: We examined the effects of dialyzer membrane flux and biocompatibility on mortality in diabetic dialysis patients. METHODS: We enrolled 402 prevalent chronic hemodialysis patients from 30 centers in Germany in 1999 for a prospective observational study until 2003. We compared 2 groups in post hoc analysis: high-flux (HF, n = 166) versus low-flux (LF, n = 236) membrane, and high biocompatibility (HB, n = 300) versus low biocompatibility (LB, n = 102). All-cause mortality (ACM) was the primary endpoint. Death causes were the secondary endpoints. RESULTS: Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed no significant difference in risk for ACM with respect to flux (hazard ratio, HR, 0.79; p = 0.08; ACM 63% in HF vs. 70% in LF dialysis) and biocompatibility level (HR 1.00; p = 0.98; ACM 67% for HB vs. 66% for LB). The multivariate analysis of different causes of death did not reveal any outcome differences dependent on flux and biocompatibility level apart from a slightly better cumulative survival regarding the death cause 'infectious' in our HF dialysis group (HR 0.48; p = 0.07, Kaplan-Meier analysis p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that mortality of hemodialysis patients with type-2 diabetic nephropathy is influenced neither by dialyzer flux level nor by biocompatibility.
