Immediate Effect of Hemodialysis on Pulmonary Function and Bronchodilator Response in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure

Background : We hypothesized that there was a relationship between body weight change and bronchodilator response (BDR) in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) on hemodialysis (HD). Several mechanisms such as pulmonary edema due to water retention or increased permeability of alveolar capillary may play a important role in pulmonary function impairment and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in patients with CRF on HD. But, no studies have been published concerning BDR in patients with CRF on HD. This study was aimed to know the immediate effect of hemodialysis on pulmonary function and BDR in patients with CRF on HD. Methods : This study included 30 patients with CRF on HD. We collected data including age, sex, height, pretibial and pedal pitting edema, interdialysis weight gain, postdialysis weight loss, underlying diseases, duration of HD, $FEV_1$, FVC, $FEV_1/FVC$, and BDR before and after HD. Results : Interdialysis weight gain of the patients was $3.4{\pm}1.0kg$, and postdialysis weight loss was $3.2{\pm}0.7kg$. Before HD,$FEV_1$, FVC, and $FEV_1/FVC$ of the patients were $89{\pm}22%$, $86{\pm}19%$ of predicted, and $87{\pm}10%$. After bronchodilator inhalation, these parameters were changed to $95{\pm}22%$, $90{\pm}19%$ of predicted, and $88{\pm}9%$ respectively. BDR was positive in 15 patients. After HD, $FEV_1$, FVC, and $FEV_1/FVC$ of the patients were $100{\pm}23%$, $94{\pm}18%$ of predicted, and $88{\pm}11%$. After bronchodilator inhalation, these parameters were changed to $102{\pm}23%$, $96{\pm}18%$ of predicted, and $89{\pm}8%$ respectively. BDR was positive in 9 patients. Conclusion : First, HD increases $FEV_1$, FVC, and $FEV_1/FVC$ but little affects BDR. Second, there is no correlation between postdialysis weight loss and increases in $FEV_1$, FVC, and $FEV_1/FVC$ after HD. Third, there is also no correlation not only between interdialysis weight gain and BDR before HD but between postdialysis weight loss and BDR after HD.

만성신부전 환자에서 혈액투석이 폐기능 및 기관지확장제에 대한 반응에 미치는 영향

연구배경 : 혈액투석을 받고 있는 만성신부전 환자들에서 수분저류나 폐포 모세혈관의 투과성 증가에 의한 폐부종이 폐기능장애에 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나, 현재까지 혈액투석을 받고 있는 만성신부전 환자들에서 혈액투석이 단기간에 폐기능에 미치는 영향이나 기관지확장제에 대한 반응을 연구는 없었다. 이 연구에서는 만성신부전으로 혈액투석을 받고 있는 환자들에서 혈액투석이 폐기능에 미치는 영향 및 체중변화와 기관지확장제에 대한 반응의 상호관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 만성신부전으로 혈액투석을 받고 있는 30명의 환자들을 대상으로 혈액투석간 체중증가, 혈액투석 후 체중감소와 간편폐기능검사 결과에 근거한 $FEV_1$, FVC, $FEV_1/FVC$, 기관지확장제에 대한 반응을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환자 30명의 혈액투석 전 $FEV_1$, FVC 각각 예측치의 $89{\pm}22%$, $86{\pm}19%$였고 혈액투석 후 환자들의 $FEV_1$, FVC는 각각 예측치의 $100{\pm}23%$, $94{\pm}18%$였다. 혈액투석간 체중증가와 혈액투석 전기관지확장제에 대한 반응, 혈액투석 후 체중감소와 혈액투석 후 기관지확장제에 대한 반응 사이의 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 혈액투석 후 기관지확장제에 대한 반응도는 혈액투석 전과 비교하여 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : 혈액투석 후 폐기능은 향상되지만 체중변화와 기관지확장제에 대한 반응도의 상호관련성은 없었다.
