Background: Intermittent infusion hemodialtration is a recently developed convective method of renal replacement therapy using cyclic back-ltration infusion. Quick and regular infusion prevents intradialytic hypotension. However, the optimal dose of bolus dialysate infusion required to stabilize blood pressure has not been reported. Here, we investigated the relationship between the dose of bolus dialysate infusion and blood pressure. Summary: A total of 77 patients on maintenance hemodialysis were enrolled in this study. Dialysate was infused rapidly by backward ltration at a rate of 150 mL/min at 30-min intervals using an automated dialysis machine. The effects with two bolus infusion volumes (100 and 200 mL) were compared, each for an observation period of 2 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured at the start and at the end of each dialysis session, and the highest SBP and lowest SBP measurements were also recorded. Patients were divided according to dry weight into a <52 kg group and a ≥52 kg group, and various parameters were compared between the 100 and 200 mL bolus infusion volumes in each group. Among patients in the <52 kg group, SBP did not vary at any of the time points. However, for patients in the ≥52 kg group, SBP at the end of treatment was significantly lower in the 100-mL group than in the 200-mL group (141 ± 20 vs. 144 ± 21 mm Hg, p = 0.041), and the minimum SBP was also lower in the 100-mL group than in the 200-mL group (127 ± 17 vs. 131 ± 18 mm Hg, p = 0.010). Key Messages: Among patients with a dry weight of ≥52 kg, blood pressure was more stable when a bolus fluid volume of 200 mL was used, compared with a volume of 100 mL. However, for patients with a dry weight of <52 kg, the significance of the difference in bolus fluid volumes disappeared. Thus, the replacement fluid volume might be better determined based on the patient’s dry weight. Trial Registration: UMIN 000028145, Registered July 10, 2017.
