About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Coronary Artery Calcification focused on measuring maintenance hemodialysis patients, coronary artery calcification, low calcium dialysate, effects, safety

Eligibility Criteria

30 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients who dialyze thrice weekly in our hospital with serum iPTH <500pg/ml, adjusted serum calcium≧8.4mg/dl in two serial tests.
  • Patients who have no chronic infection or malignant tumour and with relatively stable heart and lung function.
  • Patients who signed informed consent documents at the time of enrollment in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients whose heart or lung function are poor, or with unstable hemodynamics.
  • Patients who are diagnosed active pulmonary tuberculosis, AIDS, malignant tumour, or decompensated liver cirrhosis.
  • Patients who are unable or unwilling to cooperate with the researchers in the treatment and follow-up.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aim to observe the preventive effect and the long term safety of low calcium dialysis on coronary artery calcification in Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
Detailed Description
MHD patients recruited in this study were randomly divided into two groups: routine dialysis group (with dialysate calcium concentration 1.5mmol/L) and low calcium dialysis group (with dialysate calcium concentration 1.25mmol/L). All patients were dialyzed thrice weekly for 4 hours with a bicarbonate-based solution. They were followed up in every dialysis interview during the 1-year study, the occurrence of all adverse reactions associated with dialysis were recorded during the study. All patients received heart spiral CT examination before and at the end of the study. Coronary artery calcification was assessed by a certain professional who was not affiliated to the dialysis center.
