[A clinical study on solute removal index as an index to quantitate the adequacy of hemodialysis].
OBJECTIVE
In order to find a proper hemodialysis dosage and improve the life quality of the patients undergoing hemodialysis.


METHODS
A clinical study of solute removal index (SRI) was performed in 20 stable maintenance hemodialysis patients. Plasma BUN level was tested before and at the end of hemodialysis as well as 1 hr post-hemodialysis. Urea regeneration rate (G), protein catabolic rate (PCR), solute removal amount (R) and SRI were calculated by double-pool urea kinetic model.


RESULTS
It is shown that urea rebound rate was (18.50 +/- 3.35)% 1 hr post-hemodialysis, R was (13.82 +/- 5.48)g, G was (4.85 +/- 1.39)g, PCR was (0.94 +/- 0.29)g x kg(-1) x d(-1), SRI was (71.33 +/- 6.80)% respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
The results indicated that SRI is a better index to quantitate the adequacy of hemodialysis.
