Abstract

Introduction: Incremental or progressive haemodialysis is a modality for starting haemodialysis, based on residual diuresis and adapted to the needs of the patient, and not very widespread despite the potential benefits. For correct follow-up, it is necessary to establish specific guidelines in each haemodialysis session, which must be known by the staff who treat these patients regularly. Aim: To analyse the evolution of patients who start renal replacement therapy with incremental haemodialysis. Material and Method: Retrospective observational study of incident patients on renal replacement therapy using incremental haemodialysis in our centre in the last 10 years. Comparison of baseline and 12-month follow-up results was carried out. Results: In the study period, 49 patients with incremental haemodialysis were included. Although the residual diuresis falls in the first year from 2030±600 ml/day to 1300±500 (p <0.05), in most cases, it remains above one litre. Urea clearance also decreases from 5.7±1.6 ml/min to 3.4±1.6 ml/min per year (p<0.05). Conclusions: Starting renal replacement therapy with incremental haemodialysis can keep residual diuresis longer. Knowledge of the technique and correct handling during dialysis sessions are key.
