Brief summary

Comparing the efficacy of superhigh-flux dialyzer with high-flux dialyzer in ESKD patient who have sepsis to improve mortality and sepsis outcome, an open label randomized control trial.

Detailed description

Sepsis in people who have ESKD is the risk of developing poor outcome. Cytokines play a role in the process of sepsis and cause the worsening clinical outcome despite definitive antibiotic treatment. Superhigh-flux dialyzer has a larger molecular weight cut off (MWCO) clearance, include cytokine, could contribute to improved sepsis management in individuals with ESKD. This study is conducted to prove the efficacy of super high-flux dialyzer comparing with high-flux dialyzer in case of mortality reduction for regular hemodialysis ESKD patients. Method This study is an open label single center randomized control trial. We randomized ESKD patients who have sepsis condition with high interleukin-6 (IL-6 \> 50 pg/ml). The participants were allocated to super high-flux dialyzer group and high flux dialyzer group, stratified with diabetes, vascular access, and septic shock. We excluded; patient who needed dialysis with continuous kidney replacement therapy, vulnerable patient, include pregnant woman, patient who closed and patient who expected to pass away within the 24 hours. We aim to enroll total 202 participants; divided equally in each arm. According to our protocol, non reused super high-flux dialyzer and high-flux dialyzer are used in the same assigned patient in first week without crossing over. The standard of care of sepsis and antibiotic are provided in both groups without intervening of researcher and our protocol. The primary endpoint is 28 days of mortality. The secondary outcome include cardiovascular death, rate reduction of IL-6 after dialysis, days of hospitalization, ventilator free days and complication of dialysis are also monitored.
