Hemodynamic Stabilizing Effects of <smlcap>L</smlcap>-Carnitine in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract: Background: The effects of L-carnitine on the hemodynamic state of chronic hemodialysis patients have been debated. In order to clarify the effect of administered L-carnitine on cardiac function and hypotensive episodes during the hemodialysis procedure, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study was performed for 3 months. Methods and Results: Twenty stable outpatients undergoing hemodialysis treatment were divided into two groups: controls (placebo) and treated patie… Show more

“…Administering carnitine is beneficial to patients with angina, ischemia-induced cardiac insufficiency, cardiogenic shock, cardiomyopathy, and myocardial infarction. 8 A hyperbolic increase in plasma carnitine concentration is observed after completing a dialysis session, as it is released from tissue stores. Repeated dialysis treatment over an extended period results in a deficiency of tissue carnitine.…”

“…Não foram vistas diferenças significativas da calemia em pacientes com cefaleia na diálise. 20,21,[23][24][25][26]28 Renais crônicos apresentam diminuição do metabolismo de serotonina, à semelhança dos pacientes migranosos, apresentando assim, maior predisposição para desenvolvimento da dor cefálica. Existem também estudos que correlacionam a cefaleia na HD à privação de cafeína.…”

“…Segundo a Sociedade Internacional de Cefaleia, durante a hemodiálise ocorre a depuração de cafeína e outros eletrólitos, o que pode acarretar as crises de cefaleia, principalmente em pacientes que tem uso crônico de cafeína, por um mecanismo denominado síndrome de retirada, que sugere uma reação rebote aos efeitos analgésicos da cafeína. 18,19,24,25,28,29 Estudos multicêntricos recentes apresentam resultados contraditórios quanto ao uso de esquemas de diálise com fluxo mais baixo e tempo mais prolongado como fator protetivo a cefaleia da HD. 1,11,12,19,24,25 O manejo consiste no uso de analgésicos e na eliminação da causa base.…”
