INITIAL RESULTS OF BICARBONATE HAEMODIALYSIS TREATMENT IN DIALYSIS CENTER IN KOSOVSKA MITROVICA INITIAL RESULTS OF BICARBONATE HAEMODIALYSIS TREATMENT IN DIALYSIS CENTER IN KOSOVSKA MITROVICA

<p>Haemodialysis, as a drastic medical procedure, needs a modern technology for performing of qualitative depurative process. Trying to imitate a function of healthy kidneys, it provides survival without one vital organ. The aim of the study was a qualitative estimation by comparing laboratory and clinical parameters of one-year haemodialysis treatment with different dialysis methods. In all patients treated with chronicle haemodialysis in Dialysis Centre in Kosovaska Mitrovica, we performed a set of laboratory analyses, recorded hepatotrophic viruses and determined a quality of haemodialysis by the degree of urea elimination. There are 16 patients on chronicle haemodialysis, 11 female (68,75%) and 5 male (31,25); mean age, 52,46±16,89 years, mean time on dialysis was 58±51,835. An increase of hemoglobin concentration was correlated with bicarbonate heamodialysis initiation. (61,692±19,405 vs. 75.466±13,814; p=0,038). Cholesterol (5,32±1,522 vs. 4,34± 1,006; p=0,0481) and inorganic phosphorus (1,427±0,2327 vs. 1,692±0,260; p=0,0056) are biochemical factors that are in a reverse correlation with bicarbonate haemodialysis in our patients. The degree of urea elimination as a measure for haemodialysis adequacy was statistically significant indicator of an adequate dialysis and was correlated with bicarbonate haemodialysis initiation (t=8,571; df=1; p=0,0389)</p>
