Abstract:

Objective To observe the fluctuations of serum potassium in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients before and after hemodialysis.Methods A total of 42 MHD patients admitted in the Nephrology and Rheumatology Department of Zunyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2021 to February 2023 were selected. According to the median grouping method, patients were divided into Δserum potassium (difference of serum potassium before and after dialysis) ≥1.44 mmol/L group (n=21) and Δserum potassium <1.44 mmol/L group (n=21). Clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results There were no significant differences in the age, gender, urea reduction ratio (URR), single-pool urea Kt/V (sp Kt/V) and hemodialysis (HD) mode between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the Δserum potassium <1.44 mmol/L group, the proportion of non-diabetic nephropathy (P =0.019) and serum potassium before dialysis were significantly higher in the Δserum potassium ≥1.44 mmol/L group (P <0.001). Partial correlation analysis showed that after adjusting for age, Δserum potassium was positively correlated with serum potassium before and after dialysis, and the positive correlation between Δserum potassium and serum potassium before dialysis was more significant (P <0.05).Conclusion Non-diabetic nephropathy as the comorbidity and the high-level serum potassium before MHD is related to the large fluctuation of serum potassium before and after MHD, which should be paid attention to in clinical practice.
