Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic effect of maintenance hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure and summarize the analysis of inflammatory factors in serum, and the risk factors in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Methods: A total of 50 patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis who were admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected as the research subjects to analyze the therapeutic effects and complications of maintenance hemodialysis of these patients, compare the changes of inflammatory factor levels in serum such as interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and renal function indicators such as creatinine, urea nitrogen, and urinary albumin clearance, and analyze the risk factors of maintenance hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure by multivariate logistic factor analysis.

Results: The effective rate of maintenance hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure was 64% (32 cases). After dialysis, urea nitrogen, urinary albumin and creatinine clearance were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). As for the complications, 10 patients died, and 8 patients had infection. The levels of inflammatory factors in serum, such as IL-2, hs CRP were significantly decreased after maintenance hemodialysis (P < 0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. The results of multivariate logistic factor analysis showed that high capacity load and anemia were independent risk factors for death in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Simultaneously, diabetes mellitus, central venous catheterization, and hypoalbuminemia were independent risk factors for infection in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Conclusion: The level of inflammatory factors in the serum of patients with chronic renal failure after maintenance hemodialysis was significantly reduced. The risk factors of death and infection include hypertension, anemia, diabetes, etc. In contrast, the independent risk factors of death were anemia and high capacity load, and the independent risk factors of infection were diabetes, hypoalbuminemia, and central venous catheterization.
