Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of different hemodialysis modalities in the treatment of elderly patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods:A total of 50 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis at the outpatient department of Zhumadian Central Hospital from March 2022 to June 2023 were selected. After a four-week washout period, the patients sequentially underwent conventional hemodialysis (HD), high-flux hemodialysis (HFHD), and hemodiafiltration (HDF) once each, with a two-week interval between each modality. Levels of small molecule toxins [serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum phosphorus (P)], middle and large molecule toxins [β2-microglobulin ( β2-MG)],albumin( Alb),and C-reactive protein( CRP)] were compared before and after each dialysis session. Results:Before dialysis,there were no significant differences in the levels of SCr,BUN,P,β2-MG,Alb,and CRP among the three dialysis modalities( P>0.05). After dialysis,SCr, BUN,P,and β2-MG levels were significantly reduced compared with those before dialysis (P<0.05). The SCr levels were lower in HD and HDF compared to those in HFHD,and BUN levels were lower in HDF compared to those in HD and HFHD (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in P levels among the three dialysis modalities (P>0.05). The Alb levels were increased significantly after all three dialysis modalities (P<0.05). The HD resulted in lower Alb levels compared to HFHD and HDF,and higher β2-MG levels compared to HFHD and HDF;HDF had lower β2-MG levels compared to HFHD, with all differences being significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in CRP levels before and after dialysis or among the three dialysis modalities (P>0.05). Conclusion: All three hemodialysis modalities can effectively remove small molecule toxins in treating elderly ESRD. HFHD is superior to HD in removing β2-MG,while HDF has the best clearance effect and can more significantly improve nutritional status.
