ABSTRACT: Background
A convenient method to estimate the creatinine generation rate and measures of creatinine clearance in hemodialysis patients using formal kinetic modeling and standard pre- and postdialysis blood samples has not been described.Methods
We used data from 366 dialysis sessions characterized during follow-up month 4 of the HEMO study, during which cross-dialyzer clearances for both urea and creatinine were available. Blood samples taken at 1?h into dialysis and 30?min and 60?min after dialysis were used to determine how well a two-pool kinetic model could predict creatinine concentrations and other kinetic parameters, including the creatinine generation rate. An extrarenal creatinine clearance of 0.038?l/kg/24?h was included in the model.Results
Diffusive cross-dialyzer clearances of urea [230?(SD 37 mL/min] correlated well (R2?=?0.78) with creatinine clearances [164?(SD 30)?mL/min]. When the effective diffusion volume flow rate was set at 0.791 times the blood flow rate for the cross-dialyzer clearance measurements at 1?h into dialysis, the mean calculated volume of creatinine distribution averaged 29.6?(SD 7.2) L], compared with 31.6?(SD 7.0)?L for urea (P?ConclusionsOur analysis confirms previous findings of similar distribution volumes for creatinine and urea. After taking extra-renal clearance into consideration, the creatinine generation rate in dialysis patients is similar to that in nondialysis patients. A simplified method based on urea clearance and urea distribution volume not requiring a postdialysis serum creatinine measurement can be used to yield creatinine generation rates that closely match those determined from standard modeling.
