Victoria Paguio (KFU, advisor F. Kappel): Vascular refilling and inflammation in hemodialysis

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Removal of excess fluid that has accumulated in the interstitial space of ESRD patients involves two main processes: ultrafiltration from the vascular compartment and vascular refilling from the interstitial compartment. The rates of these processes and the amount of fluid taken out are important in the regulation of blood volume during hemodialysis treatment. Moreover, recent studies show that a persistent inflammatory condition is present in most ESRD patients and inflammation enhances cardiovascular risk factors in ESRD. The fluid dynamics involving ultrafiltration and vascular refilling will be presented in a mathematical model by de los Reyes, et al. and the possible changes to vascular refilling due to inflammation will be explored.[hide abstract]
