Study Notes
Fluid Overload in Hemodialysis
- 46% of hemodialysis patients exhibit fluid overload (FO) at baseline, with pre-dialysis blood pressure 7.8 mmHg higher in FO population.
- Blood pressure alone is not sensitive enough to identify all FO patients.
Prevalence of Fluid Overload in US Hemodialysis Population
- 43% of pre-HD patients have fluid overload, 53% are normo-hydrated, and 4% are dehydrated.
- 48% of pre-HD FO patients are hypertensive, with a moderate correlation between BP and FO.
Impact of Fluid Overload on Organs
- Fluid overload can lead to organ dysfunction and adverse outcomes, including hypovolemia, euvolemia, and hypervolemia.
- Underfiltration and overfiltration can cause nausea, vomiting, bleeding, and cardiac stunning.
Volume Overload and Mortality
- Volume overload is associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events.
- Continuous monitoring of percent change in blood volume during dialysis can help identify fluid overload.
Crit-Line Technology
- Crit-Line technology non-invasively measures hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and percent change in blood volume.
- The technology employs a sensor clip that emits multiple wavelengths of light to transilluminate the blood in the Crit-Line blood chamber.
- Real-time monitoring of blood volume changes can help clinicians provide proactive support during HD treatment.
Crit-Line Profile Graph
- The Crit-Line profile graph visualizes the rate of blood volume reduction (RBVΔ) and suggests interventions to manage fluid overload.
- Three Crit-Line profiles indicate the rate of plasma refill: A (BV reduction < 3%/hr), B (BV reduction 3-6.5%/hr), and C (BV reduction > 6.5%/hr).
Predictive Model for Intradialytic Relative Blood Volume
- A predictive model using Crit-Line and HD machine data can identify patients at risk of rapid blood volume reduction.
- The top predictors of a RBV decrease of at least -6.5 % per hour include ultrafiltration rate, patient weight, and blood pressure.
