| Aims: According to ambiguous status of quality of dialysis in Abadan, this study was performed to evaluate the dialysis adequacy in Abadan hemodialysis center in 2007. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all ESRD patients who have referred to Abadan hemodialysis center in 2007 and had more than 3 months of dialysis history were evaluated. Data was collected by a questionnaire. Then kt/v and URR indices were calculated for hemodalysis adequacy and PCR for nutritional status. Data analyzed by SPSS 13 software. Results: The mean of kt/v was 0.9± 0.21 with the minimum of0.2 and the maximum of 1.27. The mean of URR was 53±10% with the minimum of 14 and the maximum of 70%. In addition, the mean of PCR was 0.79±0.18 with the minimum of 0.35 and the maximum of 1.26. kt/v and URR had no significant relation with age, sex, hemodialysis session per week and filter type. There was no significant relation between kt/v and PCR by pearson correlation coefficient. Conclusion: According to hemodialysis inadequacy in 97.8% of patients, further evaluation is necessary to determine the causes. Also, according to the importance of correct measurement of dialysis urea level for assessing adequacy, using the new method of this article by other centers is recommended. |
