Abstract

The aim of this study was to estimate a nutritional parameter, normalized protein nitrogen appearance (nPNA), for haemodialysis (HD) patients by on-line monitoring with the optical dialysis adequacy monitor (DIAMON) prototype, by the modified direct dialysis quantification (mDDQ), and by the volume-variable single-pool urea kinetic modelling (VVSP UKM). Ten HD patients were monitored on-line by the DIAMON prototype during three consecutive haemodialysis sessions during one week. Blood samples were taken and the total dialysate collection (TDC) was performed during all dialyses. The nPNA values were estimated by DIAMON, mDDQ and VVSP UKM; nPNA was normalized by V/0.58 and by the measured dry body weight, efBW. Individual nPNA for each patient during a seven-day period was estimated using UV-absorbance measured on-line by the DIAMON prototype. The nPNA values (mean ± SD) in g/kg/day for the total material were: 1) 0.74 ± 0.12 from DIAMON (N = 28), 0.90 ± 0.26 from mDDQ (N = 29) and 0.90 ± 0.23 from VVSP UKM (N = 30) normalized by V/0.58, and 2) 0.68 ± 0.10 from DIAMON (N = 28), 0.72 ± 0.19 from mDDQ (N = 29) and 0.80 ± 0.18 from VVSP UKM (N = 30) normalized by efBW. The optical device for monitoring the dialysis adequacy enables individual nPNA estimation for each patient using continuous, on-line UV-absorbance measurements. The results are comparable to the nPNA values obtained by the kinetic modelling. Still a question remains concerning the normalization of PNA.
