Quantification of Autonomic Nervous Activity During Hemodialysis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis
Registration Number
NCT02754986
Lead Sponsor
University of Hyogo
Brief Summary

This study assesses autonomic nervous system function by power spectral analysis of RR interval dynamics in ultrafiltration subjects without blood pressure variation.

Detailed Description

Variations over time in autonomic nervous activity due to differences in ultrafiltration rate will be evaluated by measuring heart rate variability in hemodialysis patients without blood pressure variations during HD session.

The subjects will be divided into 3 groups, those with UFR \< 10 ml/hr/kg; ≥10 ml/hr/kg but ≤ 15 ml/hr/kg; and \>15 ml/hr/kg, and Holter ECG are recorded continuously during HD session using frequency analysis of RR intervals.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The outcome measures was low frequency power (LF, ms2) to high frequency power (HF, ms2) ratio (LF/HF ratio) of heart rate variability. The three subject groups with difference ultrafiltration were compared by LF/HF ratio during hemodialysis session.4 hours

Variations over time in autonomic nervous activity due to differences in ultrafiltration rate will be evaluated by measuring heart rate variability.
