Introduction: This study aimed to explore the clinical effects of blood purification therapy in patients with chronic renal disease, measured by renal function index and inflammation.
Methodology: Data were collected from a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan between June 2022 and September 2023. Eighty-four patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis for chronic renal failure were retrospectively included in this cohort.
Results: Age, sex, BMI, course of disease, primary disease, and educational level were not related to the response to blood purification treatment. Blood purification therapy positively affected renal function, serological indices, and inflammatory factors (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Blood purification therapy can improve toxin clearance and renal function and reduce inflammation. Therefore, the authors can conclude that this is an effective therapy for our population.
Keywords: blood purification; chronic renal failure; hemodialysis; hemoperfusion; toxin clearance.
