Objective: Hemolysis is a rare adverse effect of hemodialysis. ıt is induced by chemical pollution, heat, or mechanical harm to clogged hemodialysis lines. Lactate dehydrogenase transforms pyruvate to lactate in the absence of oxygen to make energy. LDH serum levels are raised due to tissue breakdown. A number of clinical illnesses, such as hemolytic disorders, are associated with high serum LDH. Both the Rexeed and Leoceed dialyzers are made by AsahiKASEI. They had the same membrane architecture and permeability, but blood entry angle, chamber length, and hole count varied. The aim of this study is to examine if dialyzer design affects hemolysis. Materials and Methods: A total of 142 patients who were chronically undergoing hemodialysis therapy at the ……………….for a total of 12 hours per week were included. A retrospective examination of the patients was performed. The pre-HD and post-HD LDH levels of individuals who had undergone hemodialysis with both dialyzers during separate sessions of hemodialysis were compared. Results: A hundred forty two patients (63% female) on hemodialysis (HD) treatment were enrolled in the study. Twenty eight patients (20%) had diabetes, 45 had hypertension (32%) and 16 had ischemic heart disease (11%) as a comorbid condition. When LDH difference is compared between groups Leoceed dialyzer group) had statistically significantly higher LDH difference when compared with Rexeed dialyzer group (49.1±20 U/l vs229.8±24.45 U/l;p=0.008). (Table 2). Conclusion: It is possible that the design of the dialyzer contributes in some way to the cell damage that is caused by the larger serum LDH increase in the Leoceed dialyzer. In order to carry out corrective studies on dialyzer design, it would be helpful to analyze the impact of dialyzer design on cell damage using a larger series of patients.
