We evaluated three different blood cleansing methods (hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration and hemofiltration) from clinical points of view.
1) At first, we checked up many parameters (WBC counts, platelet counts, serum complement, coil planet centrifuge pattern and serum β-thromboglobulin) in the biocompatibility. We obtained good biocompatibility in all methods.
2) Changes of plasma volume during hemofiltration was less than that during the other methods.
3) Sequential decrease of the intraocular pressure was observed in hemofiltration process. But only small changes were seen in the other methods.
4) There was positive correlation between blood pH and tissue pH. There was slight difference between blood pH and tissue pH in hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration. But no difference was observed in hemofiltration. From this result, it may be suggested that metabolic acidosis was corrected in the extra- and intracellular space at the same rate in hemofiltration.
Further study will be nessesary for us to come to a conclusion which method is the best.
