One-hour and half, high-surface-area haemodiafiltration: a feasibility study.

In order to explore the limitations of further shortening of dialysis time, six uraemic patients underwent three different dialysis treatments: haemodiafiltration (HDF) of 180 min with a polyacrylonitrile membrane (1 m2); standard haemodialysis (SH) of 270 min with a cuprophan membrane (1 m2); 90 min, 2 m2 haemodiafiltration (H HDF) with two RP6 in series, dialysate coursed through the two dialysers in parallel and postdilution reinjection of 220 mEq/L of Na+ and 100 mEq/L of bicarbonate after each dialyser. Clearances were extremely more elevated in H HDF than in SH; urea extraction index was significantly higher in SH, but inulin extraction index was significantly lesser in SH than in H HDF.

Acute renal failure due to rifampicin (R-ARF).

Five episodes of acute renal failure due to rifampicin (R-ARF) were observed in four patients and the clinical and histological data were compared with the records of 52 episodes reported in the literature. The bulk of data supports the assumption that the by far most frequent renal injury responsible for R-ARF is acute tubular necrosis produced by a vasomotor mechanism. Nevertheless a few data, above all immunohistological findings, suggest the local presence of allergic process. It may be, that the development of an immunological renal lesion is prevented or blunted by the consequences of vasomotor effects.

[Electrophysiologic follow-up (brainstem acoustic evoked potentials and visual evoked potentials) in chronic uremic patients treated with various therapeutic protocols].

The aim of our study was to evaluate the possibility of recording also sub-clinical alterations of the Central Nervous System during chronic uremia by means of the study of Pattern-Reversal Visual Evoked Potentials (P-R V.E.Ps) and Brainstem Acoustic Evoked Potentials (B.A.E.Ps), to study their behaviour in answer to different kinds of treatment and follow their possible modifications during the time. With this purpose the uremic patients were divided into therapeutic groups: only dietetic and pharmacological treatment, conventional hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, peritoneal dialysis and well functioning kidney transplant. A first record of Evoked Potentials was made in 1985 and the values were compared with those obtained by an homogeneous control group. The same patients were evaluated 3 years later and the two records results were compared. In both cases the most important percentage of altered values were found in the group under only dietetic and pharmacological treatment, the less important in the transplanted patients and these data were stable at the follow-up. So that Evoked Potentials are a good test in chronic uremia and the best therapy able to hinder the alterations of Central Nervous System arising during chronic renal failure would seen to be kidney transplant.
