Evaluation of Contact Phase Activation During Hemodialysis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
End Stage Renal Disease
Interventions
Device: PS (Phylter)
Device: AN69ST (Evodial)
Device: PMMA (BKU)
Registration Number
NCT03090984
Lead Sponsor
Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel
Brief Summary

Every patient included in the study will undergo 3 standardised hemodialysis treatments, each using a different dialysis membrane (PMMA, PS, AN69ST). The order of the membranes used will be randomized.

During each conventional and standardised hemodialysis treatment, 6 blood samples will be taken at different time points (T0, T5, T15, T30, T90, T240) to evaluate coagulation activation (TAT, PF1+2, d-dimers, TF) and, more specifically, activation of the contact phase pathway of coagulation (kallikrein, fXIa, fXIIa).

GroupInterventionDescription
PS (Phylter)PS (Phylter)Patients included in the study will undergo 3 hemodialysis treatments. During the PS Arm, patient will be dialyzed using a Phylter 1.7 (Bellco) dialyzer. All study treatments will be standardized for dialysis access, priming procedure, blood and dialysate flows, anticoagulation therapy and duration of the hemodialysis session.
AN69ST (Evodial)AN69ST (Evodial)Patients included in the study will undergo 3 hemodialysis treatments. During the AN69ST Arm, patient will be dialyzed using a Evodial 1.6 (Gambro) dialyzer. All study treatments will be standardized for dialysis access, priming procedure, blood and dialysate flows, anticoagulation therapy and duration of the hemodialysis session.
PMMA (BKU)PMMA (BKU)Patients included in the study will undergo 3 hemodialysis treatments. During the PMMA Arm, patient will be dialyzed using a BKU 1.6 (Toray) dialyzer. All study treatments will be standardized for dialysis access, priming procedure, blood and dialysate flows, anticoagulation therapy and duration of the hemodialysis session. During each study treatment, blood samples will be taken at specified time points (T0, T5, T15, T30, T90, T240) to assess overall coagulation activation (TAT, PF1+2, d-dimers), contact phase activation (kallikrein, fXIa, fXIIa), and activation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway (TF).
