Low dialysate sodium in children and young adults on maintenance hemodialysis: a prospective, randomized, crossover study.
The optimal dialysate sodium concentration (dNa) in children on hemodialysis (HD) is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the effect on interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and blood pressure (BP) of a low (135 mmol/l) and standard dNa (138 mmol/l) in children and young adults on maintenance HD.
This prospective single-blind randomized crossover study consisted of a randomized sequence of two phases: "standard dNa" of 138 mmol/L and "low dNa" of 135 mmol/L. Each phase lasted 4 weeks. Inclusion criteria were age < 25 years, hypertension, pre-HD serum Na (sNa) ≥ 130 mmol/L, and occurrence of symptoms in less than 25% of sessions. Primary outcomes were pre-HD systolic and diastolic BP and IDWG.
Fifteen patients were recruited, mean age 17.8 ± 4.4 years. Pre-HD SBP and DBP were not different between the two treatments. Mean IDWG was significantly lower with low dNa than with standard dNa: 2.12 ± 1.39% vs. 2.77 ± 1.53%, respectively (p = 0.008). The first-hour refill index (a volume index based on blood-volume monitoring) was significantly lower with dNa 135 mmol/L (p = 0.018). The mean Na gradient (dNa-sNa) was - 2.53 ± 2.4 mmol/L with dNa 135 mmol/L and 0.17 ± 2.8 mmol/L with dNa 138 mmol/L (p = 0.0001). The incidence of symptomatic sessions was similar (1.0% vs. 1.0%).
In a selected population of hypertensive pediatric and young adult HD patients, a dNa of 135 mmol/L was associated with a significant reduction of IDWG compared with a dNa of 138 mmol/L. Furthermore, long-term studies are needed to investigate the effect of lowering dNa on BP. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Role of dialysis sodium gradient on intradialytic hypertension: an observational study.
The causes of intradialytic hypertension (IDHyper) are not well understood and this condition can complicate the clinical management of hemodialysis (HD) patients.
To evaluate the potential role of intradialytic sodium gradient (NaG) on blood pressure values and IDHyper during HD.
206 prevalent HD patients on 3 times weekly HD treatment for at least 6 months (dialytic vintage 6-240 months) followed at our institution were studied. Mean age was 68 ± 14 years, 129 were men. For 2 consecutive months (24 HD sessions) after the start of observation, the following variables were evaluated in predialysis after the long interdialysis interval: pre-HD plasma sodium (pNa, mmol/l) and potassium (pK, mmol/l) concentrations (mean value of 8 determinations), pre- and post-HD systolic (SBP, mm Hg) and diastolic (DBP, mm Hg) blood pressure, dry body weight (dBW, kg), interdialytic weight gain (IDWG, kg), ultrafiltration rate (UFR, ml/kg/h), dialysis dose (Kt/V), protein catabolic rate (PCRn, g/kg/day), hemoglobin (Hb, g/dl). SBP, DBP, IDWG, UFR are the mean values of the 24 HD sessions. 76% of patients were on antihypertensive therapy, 171 patients were on bicarbonate HD, and 35 on HDF. Dialysate Na concentration was set at 140 mmol/l in all patients. Duration of HD and the blood and dialysate flow rate were kept constant during observation.
Data are expressed as mean ± SD; linear and multiple regression analysis and t test for unpaired data were employed. Significant differences were defined as p < 0.05.
Pre-HD pNa was 138.1 ± 2.3 mmol/l, pK 5.0 ± 0.4 mmol/l, dBW 67 ± 14 kg, IDWG 2.9 ± 0.8 kg, UFR 11.2 ± 3.7 ml/kg/h, Kt/V 1.43 ± 0.18, PCRn 1.13 ± 0.17 g/kg/day, and Hb 11.2 ± 0.8 g/dl. Pre- and post-HD SBP values were 139 ± 13 and 134 ± 12 mm Hg (p < 0.0001); pre- and post-HD DBP did not change significantly. A dialysis Na gradient (NaG) (dialysate Na - pre-HD pNa) was calculated, as well as the delta of SBP (ΔSBP) (post-HD SBP - pre-HD SBP). IDHyper was defined as ΔSBP >0. A significant direct correlation was found between NaG and ΔSBP (p < 0.0001) and multiple regression analysis with ΔSBP as dependent variable confirmed the strong correlation with NaG (p < 0.00001). According to ΔSBP behavior, 171 patients (83%) had a decrease or no change in post-HD SBP (group 1; no IDHyper); 35 patients (17%) increased their post-HD SBP (group 2; IDHyper). NaG values were significantly greater in patients in group 2 (group 1: 1.5 ± 2.2 vs. group 2: 3.3 ± 2.5, p < 0.0001).
This study shows that the intradialytic ΔSBP is independently and strongly associated with the dialytic NaG. The more positive the NaG (net intradialytic Na gain), the more positive the ΔSBP and IDHyper.

Sodium intake and urinary losses in children on dialysis: a European multicenter prospective study.
Sodium (Na) balance is unexplored in dialyzed children. We assessed a simplified sodium balance (sNaB) and its correlates in pediatric patients receiving maintenance dialysis.
Patients < 18 years old on hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) in six European Pediatric Dialysis Working Group centers were recruited. sNaB was calculated from enteral Na, obtained by a 3-day diet diary, Na intake from medications, and 24-h urinary Na (uNa). Primary outcomes were systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure standard deviation scores (SBP and DBP SDS), obtained by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or office BP according to age, and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG).
Forty-one patients (31 HD), with a median age of 13.3 (IQR 5.2) years, were enrolled. Twelve patients (29.3%) received Na-containing drugs, accounting for 0.6 (0.7) mEq/kg/day. Median total Na intake was 1.5 (1.1) mEq/kg/day, corresponding to 60.6% of the maximum recommended daily intake for healthy children. Median uNa and sNaB were 0.6 (1.8) mEq/kg/day and 0.9 (1.7) mEq/kg/day, respectively. The strongest independent predictor of sNaB in the cohort was urine output. In patients receiving HD, sNaB correlated with IDWG, pre-HD DBP, and first-hour refill index, a volume index based on blood volume monitoring. sNaB was the strongest predictor of IDWG in multiple regression analysis (β = 0.63; p = 0.005). Neither SBP SDS nor DBP SDS correlated with sNaB.
Na intake is higher than uNa in children on dialysis, and medications may be an important source of Na. sNaB is best predicted by urine output in the population, and it is a significant independent predictor of IDWG in children on HD. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Effects of Standard and Individualized Dialysate Sodium in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients Upon Echocardiography Parameters.
Aims: This study assessed the effects of individualized dialysis sodium prescription on changes of echo-cardiography in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: 77 chronic hemodialysis patients were analysed. In the first phase all patients underwent dialysis with standard dialysate sodium of 138 mmol/L followed by the second phase where dialysis was performed with individualized dialysate sodium concentration according to average pre HD serum sodium concentration. After the first phase, the subjects were divided into 3 groups: normotensive, hypertensive and hypotensive based on the average pre-HD systolic BP during the first phase. In all patients echocardiography was performed at the end of the first and second phase. Results: Patients had no statistical significant change in blood pressure compared with standard dialysate sodium, only statistical significant change in interdialytic weight gain (IDWG). By dividing the patients, sodium individualization resulted in significantly lower blood pressure and IDWG (p=0.018) in hyper-tensive patients, whereas normotensive patients showed only significant decrease in IDWG (p=0,004). Hypertensive patients had significant highest sodium gradient compared to other patients (p<0.05), followed by significant increase of 0,6% IDWG confirmed with univariate regression analysis. In all patients, echocardiography analysis showed an increase of 2.04 mm of LVDD by increasing the sodium gradient for 1 mmol/L and significantly increased LVM of 35.69 gr by 1 kg increase in IDWG. Conclusions: A reduction of the dialysate sodium concentration based on the pre HD serum sodium level of the patient, reduced the SBP, DBP and IDWG and decreased the volume overload upon the heart and consequently heart hypertrophy assessed by echocardiography.
