Abstract

BACKGROUND: Increased arterial stiffness is a common finding and independent predictor of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. A long interdialytic interval was associated with increased risk of cardiovascular death in patients receiving conventional haemodialysis (HD). This is the first study to examine the effects of a long (3-day) versus short (2-day) interdialytic period on arterial elasticity in HD patients.METHODS: Seventy ESRD patients receiving standard HD three times per week were studied at the start and end of a 3-day and a 2-day interdialytic interval. At each time point, applanation tonometry of peripheral arteries was performed to assess arterial stiffness and wave reflection parameters. Aortic and brachial pulse wave velocities (PWV) were recorded as measures of arterial stiffness and augmentation index (AIx) as a measure of wave reflections.RESULTS: AIx, heart-rate-adjusted AIx and augmentation pressure were significantly increased during both interdialytic intervals, whereas aortic and brachial PWVs remained unchanged. The interdialytic increases in all the three AIx parameters were significantly higher during the 3-day interval in comparison to the 2-day interval (P < 0.001 for all comparisons). In contrast, no significant differences in interdialytic changes of aortic (P = 0.355) and brachial (P = 0.319) PWVs were noted between the two intervals. Mixed linear model analysis revealed that central aortic systolic blood pressure (SBP) and body weight, but not aortic or brachial PWV, were independent determinants of the change in heart-rate-adjusted AIx throughout the study.CONCLUSIONS: AIx is increased between HD sessions, whereas arterial elasticity is not. This interdialytic increase in central wave augmentation is more pronounced during the 3-day interval, suggesting a mechanism possibly involved in the elevated cardiovascular risk of HD patients at this time point.
