Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of hemodialysis using URR and Kt/V indices in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at 115 People’s Hospital and identify factors associated with the Kt/V index.

Subjects and Methods: This is a case series study conducted on 178 hemodialysis patients from September 1, 2024, to September 15, 2024. Kt/V was measured using the Fresenius 4008s dialysis machine, and URR was calculated based on pre- and post dialysis blood urea tests. Other parameters were collected from medical records.

Results: A total of 60.67% of patients achieved URR >65%, and 63.48% achieved a Kt/V >1.2. Factors associated with Kt/V included dry weight, blood flow rate, and dialyzer type. A blood flow rate >250 mL/min was a strong predictor of achieving Kt/V >1.2 in dialysis, with an AUC value of 0.872, sensitivity of 82.3%, and specificity of 80.5%.

Conclusion: The majority of maintenance hemodialysis patients in this study met the treatment targets. Blood flow rate, dialyzer type, and dry weight were factors associated with dialysis efficiency.
