Table 1 Conduction and data of dialysis sessions

From: Pulmonary artery pressure as a method for assessing hydration status in an anuric hemodialysis patient – a case report

 

Data

Remarks

Conduction PAP/MAP

PAP-readings made at intervals:

- Before beginning of dialysis

- After 15 min of dialysis

- Once every 30 min from that point

- At the end of dialysis

- 15 min after ended dialysis

MAP measured at the same intervals

Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and mean systemic artery pressure (MAP) is used for discussion in this case report

Dialysis data

Session 1

Mean UF-rate: 743 ml/hr

UF-volume: 2590 ml

Hemoglobin: 6.0 mmol/L

Abumin: 35 g/L

Urea: 24.4 mmol/L

Creatinine: 204 μmol/L

Alkaline phosphatase: 115 U/L

Pro-BNP: 1120 pmol/L

A total of one PAP reading has been omitted due to a technical error

Blood samples planned for session 1, 4, 7, 10.

Session 2

Mean UF-rate: 800 ml/hr

UF-volume: 2770 ml

 

Session 3

Mean UF-rate: 524 ml/hr

UF volume: 1600 ml

Final post-dialytic reading has not been obtained due to patient’s compliance, as he was not admitted and wished to leave the hospital

Two events of systemic hypotension occurred, that lead the nurse to pause the ultrafiltration. They are marked by arrows in Fig. 1

Patient related data

Clinical estimated dry weight: 86 kg

Endpoint: The patient died after 3 dialysis sessions were conducted
