Background: Serum beta-trace protein (beta TP, MW 23-29 kDa) is a marker of GFR impairment in renal patients. Recent papers propose to predict residual renal function (RRF) in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients from serum concentrations of beta TP and other small proteins, avoiding the collection of urine. Few data are available on the removal of beta TP in patients treated with dialysis membranes with different flux characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of haemodialysis with low-flux, high-flux and super high-flux membranes on serum concentrations of beta TP in MHD patients with null RRF.Methods: Serum beta TP concentrations were measured before and after the first dialysis of the week in 51 MDH patients treated by low-flux (n = 24), high-flux ( n = 17), or super high-flux ( n = 10) membranes. The removal of beta 2- microglobulin (beta 2M, MW 11.8), cystatin C (Cys, MW 13.3), urea and creatinine was also analyzed.Results: Low-flux membranes did not remove beta TP, beta 2M and Cys whose concentration increased at the end of dialysis. High-flux membrane removed more efficiently beta 2M and Cys than beta TP. Super high-flux membrane had the highest efficiency to remove beta TP: mean reduction ratio (RR) 53.4%, similar to beta 2M (59.5%), and Cys (62.0%).Conclusions: In conclusion, the plasma clearance of small proteins and particularly of beta TP is dependent from the permeability of the dialysis membranes Therefore, the reliability of the formulas proposed to predict RRF from serum beta TP and other LMWP may be affected by the different permeability of the dialysis membranes.
