Abstract

Abstract : Background: Hemodialysis patients are at risk of intradialytic hypotension (IDH), which is associated with mortality and cardiovascular and neurological events. The use of biomarkers of volemia such as relative change in protidemia and BNP (B‐natriuretic peptide) levels to predict IDH remains unknown. Methods and Results: We conducted a prospective observational study, which enrolled 170 chronic hemodialysis patients in a single center from September 2015 to March 2016. BNP and the relative change of protidemia level (Δprotidemia=postdialysis protidemia−predialysis protidemia) were measured monthly over 6 months. A logistic mixed regression model was used to define the best biomarkers that predict the 30‐day risk of IDH. Receiver operating characteristic analysis area under the curve was used to define the cutoff values of Δprotidemia that predict IDH A logistic mixed model reveals that Δprotidemia predicts the 30‐day risk of IDH but not BNP or age; odds ratio=1.12, 95% CI 1.08‐1.17), odds ratio=0.81, 95% CI (0.64; 1.07) and odds ratio =0.015 95% CI (0.99; 1.03), respectively. Adding the ultrafiltration rate did not improve the model. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that Δprotidemia of 10 g/L allowed for discrimination of the patients with IDH (area under the curve= 0.67; 95% CI 0.62‐0.72, P <0.05). There was an increase in area under the curve to 0.71 (95% CI 0.63‐0.76) in a subgroup of hemodialysis with BNP <300 ng/L, for a cutoff value of 11 g/L, especially for the nondiabetic patients. Conclusions: Relative change in protidemia level (Δprotidemia) outperforms BNP and ultrafiltration rate as a predictor for 30‐day risk of IDH. These results should be confirmed by a prospective study.
