Objective To explore the clinical curative effect of high flux hemodialysis on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and impact on patients' insulin resistance (IR). Methods A total of 96 patients with DN meeting the inclusion criteria treated between January 2013 and January 2014 were selected. The patients were randomly divided in to the observation group and control group with 48 in each. The control group received low flux hemodialysis, while the observation group underwent high flux hemodialysis. Before the treatment and in the first half of the year after the treatment, the clinical renal function and inflammatory indexes, lipid metabolism, and glucose metabolism related markers were recorded, and IR index (HOMA-IR) were calculated and compared. Results Before and after the treatment, the Kt/V showed no significant change in the two groups (P > 0.05). Serum creatinine levels was lower after the treatment compared with that before the treatment in both of the two groups; in the observation group, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factorαwere significantly lower than those before the treatment and than those in the control group after the treatment (P < 0.05). HOMA-IR and fasting insulin levels in the observation group after the treatment were significantly lower than those before the treatment and than those in the control group after the treatment (P < 0.05). No significant changes of fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in the two groups before and after the treatment in patients were found (P > 0.05). Conclusion High flux hemodialysis therapy is effective on DN, which can effectively remove the body and large molecular type of inflammatory mediators, alleviate the micro inflammatory state, improve the IR status and correct the lipid metabolic abnormalities.
