Abstract
Poor control of bone mineral metabolism (BMM) is associated with renal osteodystrophy and mortality in dialysis-dependent patients. The authors explored the efficacy of alternate nightly home haemodialysis (ANHHD) in controlling BMM parameters and its effects on bone mineral density and histomorphometry. In this prospective observational study, 26 patients on home haemodialysis (3-5 h, 3.5-4 sessions weekly) were converted to ANHHD (6-9 h, 3.5-4 sessions weekly). Biochemical parameters of BMM at baseline, 6 and 12 months, radiological parameters at baseline and 12 months and bone histomorphometry at 12 months are described. Pre-dialysis serum phosphate fell from 2.13+/-0.65 to 1.38+/-0.35 mmol/L; P1000 ng/L) did not significantly improve parathyroid hormone status. Abnormal bone turnover and mineralization were present in a significant proportion of patients at 12 months but low turnover was uncommon. Vascular calcification was stabilized or improved in the majority. ANHHD compares favourably with every night and short daily therapy in relation to BMM management and may offer lifestyle advantages for patients.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
